lol , for sure i'm not shouting at you , i'm just telling that if you want help you need to cooperate , what you don't do .
For example : i asked you if you're using a standalone firewall and you said that you're using the default windows one and you don't use any other firewall , but in the end you're writing that you're using and ashampoo and zone alarm , what's that then ?? and there are another things but let's pass over that..
You're telling that it cannot update with all firewalls unninstalled , then do this , but do it step by step please , an please , don't install any firewall , or if you have one and keep it disabled unninstall it , you can keep only windows firewall enabled:
1. Download the latest version of
avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
2. Download the latest
avast! version and save it.
3. Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can't run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
4. Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1. If, for any reason, you can't run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after you've run it.
5. Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
6. Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro.
7. Check if it's updating and post the results.
If all is working great you can install the firewall you like the most .
Why do I need to UNINSTALL my firewalls, and why not enough to DISABLE them? I can't understand, if I shut down all of them, my system looks like that I haven't installed any firewalls or not?
- It's because there are firewall's services that are still running .
As about your Exploit problem , avast blocked it, it didn't get to your system .
