@
aspyder,
When is the next update or what do I do until then? Where do I get a safe copy of the latest v5?
There is a pre-release version available now
v.6.0.1044, which you can find the download file in the Sticky thread.
You can also find older version download files on filehippo.com, however you will need to use the Avast Uninstaller tool
http://files.avast.com/files/eng/aswclear6.exe to uninstall
ALL versions and products of Avast prior to doing a clean install.
AVG and reformatting will most likely be a nightmare for you.
Questions (reply in your next post):
1. Have you tried an uninstall and clean install yet?
2. What other security software do you
currently have or did you have
in the past on this machine including:
- Antivirus (AV)
- Firewall (FW)
- 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)?
3. What version of Avast did you have in the past and was this an upgrade or a clean install to v. 6.0.1000?
4. Are your MS Updates current?
Thank you and I look forward to your reply.
