I have had problems over the last year with Avast, but I don't want to give up on it because it was the only program that cleaned up my computer when I first downloaded it. I had been having a difficult time removing a virus. Some programs wouldn't find it, and others couldn't remove it, but Avast fixed everything.
However, for the last year I have had nothing but difficulties with scanning files, error messages, etc. Even with that I still limped the program along until finally, for the last several months, I can't get the program to run.
I am desparate because right now I have four viruses that won't budge with any other program.
When I try to launch Avast I get the splash screen, but then it freezes. The memory test does not run. I even have a hard time closing the splash screen.
When I first started having this problem I uninstalled it and reinstalled from website download. Still the same problems. Tech support never answered my original questions about the error messages over a year ago, so I do not have faith I will get any response to this question.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
My OS is Windows XP.
Thanks,
Kristie
