Hey everyone,
yesterday I updated my avast pro (running on windows vista). it's generally doing this automatically, but as i'm now on the road, i had to do it manually. anyways, following the update, everything shut down. after several attempts (and strange booting record: failure in file 9) i managed to get the system running again. however, i noticed the following changes: avast has turned off almost all real time shields and i can't get them back on. the help button has stopped functioning. i have no system restore point which is really weird as i used to have this. and microsoft word is not running anymore. anybody knows how to get the system back on track? all updates on avast pro have stopped working. should i reinstall the whole thing? how to do this? I ran a virus scan this morning and nothing came up (version 5.0.864, 110102-0, release date 02-01-2011)
thanks for all replies!
