I have a green box in the lower right hand corner that says avast Information. It is always there unless I manually close it. But then a few minutes later it is back. It tells me my virus definitions have been automatically updated. I am running windows 7. Is there a way to get rid of that box? Thanks
Hi PattiChati. :)
For Avast 6 only.
Follow instructions below. If they do not work, go to Control Panel > Uninstall a program > click on the Avast icon > drop down and select repair. Hope that helps.
I cannot find any of the places you tell me to go. There is no confirmation page or solutions page and the only page I can find is the configuration page. When I go to the control panel I cannot figure out what to click. None of them resemble yours.
In my emails I see a message from the forum. I click on the page and there is nothing there. I was closing down my computer and the confirmation box was there and the "Manage" (first box) was already unchecked. But do you know why I am not finding the new messages. I am afraid I unclicked something by mistake. Thanks
One way that I know will work - replace Avast! with another AVIs there a way to get rid of that box?
Before we were so extreme, do the following:
1 - have the Avast installer on hand;
2 - download Avast Uninstall Utility and follow the instructions below.
- Start Windows in Safe Mode
- Open (execute) the uninstall utility
- If you installed avast! in a different folder than the default, browse for it. (Note: Be careful! The content of any folder you choose will be deleted!)
- Click REMOVE
- Restart your computer
- Reinstall Avast.
Let us know the results.
I got avast remove just fine.I cannot find where a free download of AVG is? Either they won' download them at all or I get to the end and then they want me to pay. But as I said, most of them won't even download..
Thank
I meant to say I couldn't find a download of avast, they were all free trials. I finally found one, I think - let you know in 30 days since that is when they seem to expire, you get a 30 day free trial. So I will just have to wait and see.
Can you imagine how much wasted junk is in computers. Would love to get rid of it all. Have a clean computer without having to reinstall windows 7. Thank you.
