"Enable avast! Internet Security (important)" in Windows 7
« on: November 17, 2010, 08:14:47 PM »
Hey Avast!

I'm getting a message from my solution center in Windows 7 and it wants me to enable Avast Internet Security even though I have never switched it off or anything?

When I click to solve the problem, it wants me to run a program called VisthAux.exe and asks if I trust the publisher of the program and wants to run it. I do and click yes, but nothing happens?

What to do?


- Yours sincerely,

kyNiSk

Apparently the error is occasional. It hasn't happened since I wrote this topic and I haven't done anything to fix the issue.

I read your link YoKenny, and followed the instructions even though the error hasn't occurred. Hopefully it has done the trick to keep it away forever, only time will tell :-)

Now the solution center suddenly popped up saying: "Find an antivirusprogram online (important)"

I do have Avast Internet Security installed and nothing is disabled.

Why is solution center playing tricks with me? :p

When I enter the certificate it doesn't seem to do anything. It doesn't verify or download anything, at least nothing happens in the window or on my computer when I do so, so I guess nothing happens?

@ kyNiSk

Please ignore bong2x as he has no clue about Windows 7.

Have a look at Windows 7 Snipping Tool:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows7/products/features/snipping-tool

Set it up to capture images into My Pictures Folder as a png or gif file.

Click on Additional Options... then Attach:

Do you want me to take pictures of the problems when it occurs? I guess that could be done with Print screen? (:

The Snipping tool is much easier.

In my case, print screening was actually easier, but here is an image of what my solution center says:

I'm from Denmark so my Windows 7 is in Danish, but here's a translation of the picture:

"Find an antivirusprogram online (Important)"

When I click that, it directs me to this site:

Yes, this is my second time doing it. How do I know whether I have to reboot once or twice?

This is the picture of my solution center after I did what the link told me:
