Hello All
After years of using the "Free" version I felt it was time to make some contribution to the fine folks at Avast by at least paying for a version. My year was almost up and the offer was good. It's the only AV I've ever used and spoken highly of over at DSL Reports site. Never had a issue until now...
I loaded it up after it first told me to delete the previous version which I did. Everything went fine, inserted key, rebooted and right awy got the icon in the corner..."Attention:Fix Now". At first it was saying needed updates and all which I did and rebooted. Again showing "Fix Now". Pulled up the interface...Attention!! not fully protected with a "!" besides Firewall.
So I hit the "Fix Now" button...nothing
So I hit the small "Turn On" blue button next to Firewall...'Firewall not available
So I hit the small blue button at the bottom where it shows "Urgent!"...same thing.
So I go to Firewall and hit 'Start"..."Unable to start Firewall! Shield unreachable"
If i hit "Expert Settings" the whole interface locks up and I have to reboot. It won't do a thing.
Current Version...6.0.1125
Current...110629-0
I'm using Vista Home Preminum 64bit, Serive Pack 2. I have 'Windows Firewall" on but tried off and nothing. I also have Windows Defender running and wonder if I should turn that off.
