@ Gammerz,
It would have been best if you opened up a new thread of your own instead of posting in an thread over a year old. But we will help you with your problem. First we need more information from you:
1. What is your OS, 32 or 64-bit?
2. What version of Avast did you install?
3. What product of Avast did you install? Free, Pro, AIS?
4. What other security software do you currently have or did you have in the past on this machine including:
- Antivirus (AV)
- Firewall (FW) - now you use ZA, but in the past?
- Trial versions of AV, FW and other security programs
- Other security software
- If they were in the past, how did you remove them (the vendor's uninstaller's tool or another way)?
There have been problems in the past with ZA and Avast. When you "reinstalled" both ZA and Avast, did you use the vendor's uninstaller's tool or some other way, and did you do them one at a time with a reboot in between? Are you now using a current version of ZA or the same old one?
