Thanks for the information

 

Hey Hollander, long time no see. Do you use Avast yourself?
Nice meeting again. Any shocking news?

 

Indeed, a long time Welcome back.

Besides 3 other vendors, I'm currently using avast pro on a couple of pc's, to see how they perform. Try it yourself, you might be surprised

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Thanks for update info

 

There is some problem in running Chrome on the sandbox? Are running so well.

 

Running fine..no problems with sandbox

 

I haven't done this latest download yet, but yes my Chrome doesn't work running in the Avast! virtualization. Could the problem be that is because Chrome is already sandboxed for each individual web sight?

 

I have a bug in my Avast internet security 5.1.889

 

ok....? wuld u mind clarifying lol...

and ive installed the update and all is working fine

 

I'm tink i Have An Bug becouse when i did add avast internet Security key and its valid but at the program still got a icon say Buy now and I'm use 5.1.889

 

You might try the following steps;
1) Save your license key in a secure place
2) Download 5.1.889 - http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_ais.exe
3) Download Avast Uninstall Utility, aswClear5.exe - http://files.avast.com/files/eng/aswclear5.exe
4) Uninstall your current version using add remove programs.
5) Reboot.
6) Run aswClear5.exe from safe mode, once completed reboot into normal mode.
7) Install the latest version, reboot.

 

Thank You!!

 

i still have the "unsecure" message in the free version..when trying to acivate from services i get error 1068.
i reported this at avast forum
wonder if there is an imcompatibility with either zemana or sandboxie

 

normally one or two reboots fixes that

 

Excellent instructions! I usually uninstall with awsClear5.exe instead of uninstalling it from the control panel. This, I do in the normal mode rather than booting into safe mode. This saves the step of booting into the safe mode.

To do so first un-check "Enable Avast! self-defense module", which is under Settings>Troubleshooting.

Best regards,

KOR!

 

Thanks for the update.

 

thank you
avast free antivirus is one of the fav of programs for me
i use it long time its free and strong but now i change it coz i like to give chance another anitivirus to try
only one problem i have with avast when avast delete or detect virus or something in my laptop its not delete it from the reg and all computer so i must to use with avast maleware or another program
now i give try norton internet security 2011 new Ver , and i think its light same avast and clean good

 

This version feels significantly faster for some reason (on my netbook).

 

update..
uninstalling sandboxie and zemana,and removing all reg entries plus cleaning all leftovers
reinstall avast free.fine no problems.
bet there must be a problem with either ones,,guess next for next update i'l have to do the same.,[btw i just reinstalled sandboxie]
i have a key for free version i couldn't insert,i clcik on i have a key already...
avast is asking me to register for a key.
