I'm using Immunet Protect MSE on XP sp3 32bit till avast! 5 is fixed.

ZoneAlarm Pro is working great with MSE! 8)

Hmm,
Windows defender is some kind of antivirus you should remove this before putting avast 5 on. Did your dell original restore cd have a bundled antivirus on it? and put this on your root drive?. In the uk DELL ship & Install macafee or symantec/nortons. REMOVE THESE AT ALL COSTS BEFORE PUTTING AVAST ON WITH THEIR REMOVAL TOOLS!?

Good that avast 4 is working. :) Keep it on for one more month, and switch back to avast 5. By that time, everything will be alright. :-\

I have downloaded Avast Internet Security for 3 computers and installed with the license on two computers sucessfully. The third computer just does not work when AIS is installed?? If I uninstall it the computer works fine... Does anyone know why this would happen?

bobo1,

just some info

Windows defender is not some kind of antivirus and does not interfere with Avast 5 or Avast 4.8 for that matter, Its perfectly happy running side by side with either Avast versions.

Im sure if you look at peoples signatures you'll see it being used from time to time.

Im surprised YoKenny didnt see your post~grins~

Each computer system is as different as the 100 Million users of avast! so providing information about the system that avast! does not work on would help fix the problem.

Hi
I don't like Windows vista, certain is is something that was bundled with the dell computer could be causing trouble old antivirus (drivers etc in system 32 folder) if 4.8 is running ok so use it but updates for this will soon stop.
I use Windows xp sp3 and fully updated and avast 5 has worked ok for me when it first came out. Just minor update problems first of all

bobo1 has not figured out how to update their profile yet and DavidR an avast! Überevangelist recommends having system information in the siganture to help diagnose situations.

i used 4.8 for a long time without any problems, but i decided to get the new 5.0 and it run fine for a while. but 3 weeks ago it's stopped working, cant do anything with it so i tried to uninstall 5.0 run the removal program(no problems with that) and install 4.8 again but that stops running too after a while(1 day)

5.0 says when i try to turn it on : error File System Shield provider not found
4.8 says: something about aavm, cant remeber what exactly

I suggest an installation from the scratch:

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 and post the results.
The best things in life are free.

hi,
newbie here. to this forum anyway :)
this thread seems most appropriate, so...
i've installed avast 5 on 3 pc's. 2 for friends, 1 on my sons.
all 3 running different os'es.
windows 7, vista and xp.
all 3 stopped working. "your system is not secure" "fix now" "service has been stopped" etc
uninstalled all 3, and reinstalled.
2 friends copies seem to be still working. haven't heard otherwise so far.
however, son's has stopped working again. xp version. and it was password protected so he couldn't turn it off (he's 15)

any ideas? or can someone point me in the direction of a thread that answers this :)
