Hello,
I'm using latest Stable AIS.
I'm running Win7 x64, 4GB of RAM.
Today, I was using my PC normaly, when an avast window poped up asking to do a boot scan on next restart, as I had time, I pressed ok. It started working and I went away from PC, 2h later when I came back, it was still on 13%.. and as I needed the PC I just pressed ESC.
PC booted up normally, then I open the browser and I can't open any page. As it's normal on my provider, I went directly to troubleshoot network problems.. but everything was ok. I could ping GW, I could ping ISP, I could ping and resolve names normally.. only Firefox wasn't working. So I tried Chrome, IE, Opera..same result.
I decided to disable avast services, when I noticed that it was complaining that services were disabled, while under Real-Time Shields, all of them were running.
After some uninstalling with Avast Cleaner, I reinstalled Beta version and now it manifests same symptoms + Avast can't communicate to update/activate trial even.
- Windows Firewall is fully off
- No extra FW or Spyware removal tools
Need more ideas before formating.
Thanks.
