Re: Avast Problems

Give this a go:

It will only work if you have Avast installed in the default directory:

Open Notepad, copy and paste the following text (in bold) into the new Notepad window.
Save it to your Desktop,

save as file type all files
save as avastrun.bat

Code:

@echo off

cd C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4

ashAvast.exe

CLS

Exit

Now double click this file on your desktop.
This should start the avast GUI

Re: Avast Problems

Did you try installing it to a different location?
