hoto stop popup box?
« on: April 18, 2012, 10:13:05 PM »
Hi,
I have "Avast Internet security Pro", and I recently had to
"Fix" my Install with windows"Uninstaller",,Now I get a
"popup-box" after reboot to confirm allowing avast
to change settings on my computer.
after my first Install, this didnt happen,,
what do I need to do to stop the box from
poping-up after reboot?
any help would be appreciated!
AVAST is the Best!!!!

you may need to remove it and reinstall

remove from safe mode with this, reboot and install again  http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility

did that do it ?

Thnx Pondus!!
yes,,That did the trick!! its much appreciated!!


My "Asshampoo-Uninstaller" was also getting in the way too,, it has a "prefetch-program"
that monitors ALL changes in the operating-system, which causes alot of popup-boxes,
so I turned its "pre-monitoring" to off, that helped too.
Thats Not a negative to the "Asshampoo-products", which I also have many, and use a great deal
and also like alot!!

PS; Im soo proud of my "Avast Internet Security Pro", which Ive used for Years!
and I was wonderring if there's a "Avast Boot-screen" available so I can show avast off with??
anyone know where I can get one??
Thnx!

Yeah, there is an option to check during installation for an altered boot-screen for Win7, it just adds something like "protected by avast!" to the normal screen if I remember right.   But the option is off by default during setup, you have to enable it.

This is what you see on start up with that setting:
