cannot connect to the web after uninstalling avast
« on: December 05, 2010, 10:24:54 AM »
hi
i just uninstalled my avast software on my windows 7 laptop.
i used the avast uninstall utility

and now i cannot surf the web
my laptop connects to any wireless networks but it always says , "limited or not connected". and well.
i does not connect
even when i plug the ethernet cable, i cannot surf
the nic card detects it, but it just does not connect
i restarted the pc
i did the system restore , but it says it does not complete

what else can i do
help me please

Hi bob,
perhaps a new/another av-program???!!!  ???

@wishoek

I think an avast-service is further working on your laptop, because avast is not completly uninstalled.

Try this:

Install avast again and reboot.
Then use the avast-uninstall-tool in safe mode(!!!).
Reboot.
Now use CCleaner to clean the pc from the rest of avast.
Reboot again.

Does your laptop now connect to wireless network?

To properly uninstall avast,
First use the add/remove function in windows. Reboot and then use the avast! removal tool to remove the rest of avast!.
