Get avast free antivirus popup

I recently uninstalled avast free antivirus, I installed avg free instead. Whenever I start my pc, I get a pop up window that says... This application has failed to start because ashbase.dll not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. And after I close this pop-up window I get a second pop up window that says Avast Anti-virus has stopped working properly. It has been deleted from my computer, but it still appears on the startup items and it will not let me delete them. I use windows vista family premium on a pc hp Pavilion slimline is only 2 years old. I did a system restore to its original factory setting because I had other problems, System Restore fixed the other problems and now this.

Personally, I think you're better off with Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials on AVG, but try to run this tool to get rid of all traces of Avast.

  • Where can I get reliable FREE ANTIVIRUS?

    Hey guys,.

    Any ideas?  Right now I have AVG free version of hippo downloads and Norton trial basis who settled on the laptop.

    I heard Norton is full of bloatware or takes too much memory.  Can anyone confirm?   Thank you.

    Relax now. Avira should ensure your safety, that it updates automatically every day so not the user input required... other than the closing of the window.

    You can also run Avira NoNotify, which disables the window when updating. HERE

    I can't uninstall avast free antivirus from my laptop because I can't find it under programs and features. It started only happenin a few days ago, when I installed McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 on my laptop WITHOUT uninstalling the avast. After installation of McAfee and use it to scan my system, I've uninstalled it, then I tried to uninstall my avast, but now I no longer display it under programs and features. I tried to check the implementation of the avast to see if there was a way I could uninstall, but there is no way.

Please tell mi in every possible way I can uninstall the avast free antivirus without putting in the shape of my system. Your help will be appreciated kindly.

  • Avast free with comodo firewall - READ-

    I read that these two running together will cause no conflict as long as you clear the sandbox in Avast and comodo firewall but my main question is which is the best way to install
    First avast then restart then Comodo firewall or vice versa any help would be thank you very much.

    Hello

    Frankly I run Avast and forget about Comodo or any firewall left 3rd. Use of the Windows Firewall
    that is extremely effective. Most routers today also have a built-in firewall hardware that works
    Well well with Windows Firewall software.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Low-cost 3rd part firewall software are quite a lot of problems delayed. They all have
    compatibility, issues and offer only a few improved controls. In fact their problems often actually lower
    the overall security instead of laying. The Windows Firewall has no problem of compatibility and is
    extremely safe, if you know enough to work around most of the hype. Cost of firewalls software quality
    thousands. Most routers have hardware firewalls built in and those are much better additions
    for the money than any firewall at low prices and low-cost software.

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • Which free antivirus for vista 64-bit?

    Hello

    I run my 32-bit vista & McAfee for more than 18 months.

    I intend to do a clean install of vista 64-bit and would be very grateful for advice on viral protection.

    First option: continue with the paid version of McAfee & I wonder if that supports 64-bit?

    OR

    Option two: choose a free antivirus protection software that is available for VISTA 64-bit. If possible can direct me in the sense for me to download an installer on a cd, so that I can install that after my own install of the 64 bit OS before connect me with fully protected internet.

    Thanking you.

    Try 8 AVG or Avast. I have both running on a different version of X 64. X 64 Visat avast and AVG 8 on win 7 X 64 are very well-known and respected.

    Given that I uninstalled avast! antivirus and installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 Thunderbird application if you want to accept an invalid certificate when you try to receive new messages.

    Please take a look at the two attachments (it seems to be a problem with the download of jpg files).

    Obviously Bitdefender manipulates the certificate (no doubt to be able to scan the e-mails via an SSL connection). But I'm not sure.

    Would you recommend to confirm an exception for this certificate (permanently)?

    Thanks in advance.

    Greetings

    Marco

    Thank you, christ1.

    I discovered that after disabling SSL scanning in Bitdefender, this problem no longer exists.

    Maybe this can be seen as a confirmation that the certificate belongs in reality to Bitdefender. Because it is my concern, that is the validation of this certificate to make sure that Bitdefender is the transmitter.
