Help avast
I uninstalled AVG Antivrus ato try Avast Antivirus. I need some helpp understand this program. The fist how do you run the updates. My Windows Securty alert tells me that Avast needs to be updated, but I can't find a place to update this program. How to update this program?
In the system tray, I have two little blue balls belonging to Avast. We have an 'I' and the second is the letter 'a' on this issue. When opens with an 'I', I clicked on generate VRDB now! thinking this would update the program. There are several options, including here in merge with main Avast! icon. Is it better to do this?
And where do you find the place to run a scan?

Please help: avast pro 6 slows teststand
I recently installed avast 6 Pro and found it slowed my teststand program. It took about 2.5 minutes to complete the entire test sequence. After installing this anti-virus software, it took 4.5 minutes to complete. Anyone who has used avast to protect its test stations and found the same problem of slowdown? Did you get a solution to this? You have all the settings of avast that can solve this problem? Help, please. Thank you very much.
Thank you. I found that agent actions suspicious gave most slowing effect. I disabled the shiled, Script shield and shield of file system behavior. My test sequence test time is now back to normal.

Update AVAST again w of its Firefox browser browser windows just 2 min. Help!
AVAST has been, for me, a horror of virus protection. I bought the version of internet security (3 licenses) in order to protect the banking info - & today on my laptop at home I have innocently allowed him to update. Now, he installed something called SafeZone, that I can't seem to turn off. It turns on automatically several browser windows on top of my 13.0.1 Firefox (which I love) and in this case literally every 2 or 3 minutes... even by typing here he did it at least 3 times. At the office, I have to disable Avast so my printers do NOT work. I tried their tech support. No response to several requests. I tried to connect tonight & none of my passwords previous work. I found the original e-mail showing the confirmation of my purchase in March, but google can not show so I can copy and send it to them (somehow) - it is NOT my default browser. FIREFOX is my default. So, what can I do? Any ideas? It's terrible.
Not your answer does NOT solve my problem. But thanks for your advice and I understand that this is not a Firefox problem. I registered and posted in the user forum - Avast has been nothing but a headache. I'll use the uninstall feature (I just got it on Taskmanager applications, but of course I can't remove process).
Lucky (?) for me - I'm exec dir of non-profit and just bought Norton via TechSoup very cheap, so going to have Avast asap & install Norton. I just hope that is not the same thing.
I can't even ask a Q on Avast site - because it will not accept any of the passwords that I have listed here at home. I KNOW, I have contacted them several times in my office and got zero responses from support. I'll also try a system restore then.
What a miserable program! going to restart this computer - the Avast windows browser YET to come despite trying to eliminate through the Task Manager while I typed this. It reveals the layers of browser - 12 or 13 windows - & I have to eject them.
Bah humbug. -
Avast security not recognized online
I'm working on this problem with Avast. Yesterday Avast has updated me to their latest version which, according to Avast, is recognized by the new policy of signing of the add-on from Mozilla. This module has been updated on 20 may 2015 according to the info on my browser. I can't have the add-on to be updated manually or automatically (my default) on Firefox. I was going to remove it and do a fresh install in order to get the new update Avast, but when I went to the Add-ons on Firefox or done a search of Avast does not. My latest version of Avast security online is 11.1.2241, release date 3 November 2015, while the projection of my browser version is 10.1.0.170 with the update may 20, 2015 instead of November 2015.
How can I get the new version of Avast to work with Firefox?
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds to my request for help.Hello world. This problem has been resolved. Thank you for your help.

I tried Avast and SpyHunter to remove yessearchers and it does, until I opened FireFox and upward, it appears.
If I delete FireFox and not clean more yessearchers, reinstall and up coming yessearchers and begins to tell me where to look, probably for the people who pay to be in yessearchers, I tried all the remedies FireFox, but does not anyone can help please, thank you. .. Barry... [no hammers please]Hi, this may be a corrupted shortcut icon. The best way to cope is to click with the right button on the icon on the desktop > remove. Now right click on Mozilla Firefox in all programs/applications > Send to > desktop (create shortcut). You should now have a clean shortcut on your desktop.
If this does not help, you can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one. Windows 8 already has integrated antivirus.
More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .
Note that not all programs removal allows to detect all malware, you may need to run multiple or all of them.
This solve your problems? Please report to us!

Thunderbird v38.3 stops responding when you download e-mail. SOLVED by replacing Avast
When downloading from gmail, using imap, Thunderbird always respond, even animated icon freezes. On the first email or to the extent where the eighth (out of more than 100), the program locks up. The only way to get out of the program is to right click on its icon in the taskbar and select 'Close window' or the Task Manager and close it from there. Although, sometimes, by clicking on the button close will bring up the window close the Windows program.
Description:
A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.
Signature of the problem:
Problem Event Name: AppHangB1 Application Name: thunderbird.exe Application Version: 38.3.0.5749 Application Timestamp: 5609418b Hang Signature: b8ed Hang Type: 0 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Hang Signature 1: b8edeb5e7cae2b8821fce57a9b802164 Additional Hang Signature 2: 2760 Additional Hang Signature 3: 2760dcb9b427faab7c09c1058b7b96cf Additional Hang Signature 4: b8ed Additional Hang Signature 5: b8edeb5e7cae2b8821fce57a9b802164 Additional Hang Signature 6: 2760 Additional Hang Signature 7: 2760dcb9b427faab7c09c1058b7b96cf
I tried to reinstall the program. I tried to uninstall and reinstall. I tried to restart the reinstallation. It's under my account on the computer, it works fine in my regular user account. I didn't install or use Thunderbird in my normal user account until after the restoration of Windows 7.
This happened after the upgrade to Windows 10 and then restore Windows 7. I didn't care much for the way in which the computer ran after the installation of Windows 10 and I also lost my access to the internet, because of the way I have to connect to the internet.
No luck.

day the chosen solution 2015-07-24. :The problem has been resolved by uninstalling Avast Antivirus software. Apparently, there is a problem with the latest version of it which had applied yesterday. In addition, it is weird that disable Avast did not help.

So, basically, I've upgraded to windows 10. Everything works great, except firefox. When I loaded the first Win10 I was unable to access the settings of firefox at all. Homepage has been giving an error message, all the sites of firefox support gave error messages and I couldn't solve this problem. I thought that a simple reinstallation would work. First time around, I just installed on it. Here parameters and firefox pages working again, but now I get only half of the page to load. I am also unable to install addons. Since I reinstalled firefox several times by deleting files in the temp, the app data, registry files, you name it. If it is a related file from firefox, it was removed as a result of the pick up and other sites.
Nothing works... I am degraded using Chrome, which as I recently discovered didn't even flashgot...
Problem 1) Firefox Web pages not loading properly. Settings, support, addons, etc..
Problem 2) I can not install addons, probably because of problem 1.PS. I searched the site and went through all the tips for safe uninstall mode, but I can't seem to find anything about it. Thank you for your help.
in case you're an avast user, please try to disable https scanning in avast:
- Open the Avast dashboard on an affected system.

Uninstall Avast. It's a worthless scam that don't do anything useful. The only thing it does is a lot more then what it claims, that he you will protect from.

I ran the full scan of the disc of Avast. Since then, I have been unable to access any site using Firefox without getting the message, "this connection is not approved." Many are the sites I have been too many times before, and they are trusted sites. I don't know if there is a problem with Firefox or Firefox could recover place a sort of new "infestation". The Avast scan resulted in 5 put files in a quarantine area. Eleven years could not be scanned. Thanks for any help you can provide!
I guess Safari normally works on these sites?
The latest version of avast! Web Shield includes a function to filter your Internet connections for potential threats. In order to filter secure sites, it must present a certificate of 'false' for the site in Firefox, so it can be 'in the middle' and read your secure communications. If Firefox is not set false certificates of trust, then you will get warnings for all secure sites.
You can disable this feature as a test to see if the problem goes away.
If this works, but you want to use the feature, you must import the certificate of Avast in the tab "References" of Firefox so Firefox accepts its false certificates (there might be an automated way AVAST to do this for you, or you might need export from IE and then import them into Firefox).
Here is an exchange of views on avast! "forum of s on the way in which this is supposed to work: problems and questions about HTTPS scanning - Avast Internet 2015

Uninstall Avast engine of research?
I installed Avast Antivirus some time ago, stopped using it, then uninstalled, but I find few remnants of it here and there (I don't know which is bad, but it's boring), and I just found in my search bar there is a search engine 'Google (Avast)', so I go into the search parameters and remove it , but worried he might still be installed somewhere. I am unable to find it anywhere, then someone can advise on this?
Firefox detects search plugins in two different places. We're in your personal settings, and we're in the Firefox program folder. There could still be a third location (shared settings folder) but I have not seen before.
To check your personal settings folder:
Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
- (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
- type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various folders and files.
Look for a folder named searchplugins and click inside to see if you find that anything unwanted.
Keep this window open for the next step...
To verify the folder Firefox program:
Since you have a 64-bit version of Windows, go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
Click on browser then searchplugins to verify whatever it is unwanted here.
OK?
You can check for all avast! modules modules on the page. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
Switch categories by using the left column. The key is Extensions, but you can also see Plugins.

Half of my missing Firefox addons there is no reason for a week. Help?
I have cultivated a number of addons while using Firefox. A week ago, I noticed that youtube videos would not automatically to the HD (which is an addon that I put in place). I looked inside and when I went to my set of addons, most of them have disappeared, including my adblock. What is strange to me is that some ARE here. If all my addons disappeared, it would make sense that there is a problem here, but the fact that some have mysteriously disappeared? I don't know what to do.
I reinstalled the ones I remember, I had, but I know that I've had a little more than I am always missing. I am very angry because, as I said, I have cultivated these addons for a long time and I found an experience very uncomfortable with them.
Any advice? I have Sync installed, but it does not help.Hello shushnow, you use avast as software security by chance? (if if you may want to consider moving to other less intrusive programs): http://www.ghacks.net/2014/11/16/latest-avast-reportedly-deleting-firefox-add-ons/

I think that Avast is causing my problems. Can solve you this problem, please?
My Avast Spyware don't like Mozilla. He opened a small window on my screen called 'Open Action Center', and I can't get rid of it.
He wants me to look at the messages about the State of my computer. According to me, he's trying to get me to buy additional software.
I don't want to talk, because I find it a very invasive, in-your-face program that unfortunately came with my download from Adobe.
Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Hello
I'm surprised to hear that you have received via Adobe Avast - in my experience, Adobe products are delivered with McAfee. If you have another antivirus that you want to use, you can download an installer for another antivirus, uninstall Avast, then install the new antivirus.
I suspect that Avast is complaining because you have an older version of Flash and Firefox (and if you have the free version, it will probably also you tell about the features of the paid version). You can update Firefox by going to:
- Help (or
>
) > about Firefox
Or download a new copy to: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
If you need another location: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/As for Flash, you can download a update here (if you do not want the beam, be sure to uncheck McAfee or any software is available in the center pane under offer in option):
It is recommended to stay updated with the security updates and the performance of the applications.
