Hello !
My problem is exactly the same than eastwick66 !
- Also this same problem arrived to my 2xPCs ! (That are 2006 &2007 DualCore laptops running WinXP SP3)
I upgraded my 2 PCs the same day: v4.8 to v5 (via tha Avast "uninstall Utility" link) the 22June2010.
The only thing i did not made is: i had NOT disable my FireWall free "ZoneAlarm"...
because avast did not asked me to do that.
Fortunately, i had my previous v4.8 saved on my PC, so i have re-install it (as pk said), (without disable ZoneAlarm) and all is re-OK now like many years before !
- I am afraid to make the "changes" from Shiw Liang or DavidR...
- But my question is: can i keep this "old v4.8" version for some time, because Avast tells me each day to download the v5 !
(I remember that i have only 2 days remaining...) ?
Thank you for an answer !
