The Avast installation is not fully functional. Why is that?

During a standard installation of Avast, the message « You are protected » appears when you open the Avast software interface.

If you encounter a problem:

– Please ensure you have uninstalled any old versions of Avast or any rival antivirus software before installing Avast.

– Make sure the PC has restarted properly after installation.

– Check that the Avast services are running; if not, start them.

– Carry out repairs to your system by going to Control Panel > Programmes > Uninstall a programme > Select Avast, then click on Edit. In the Avast window that opens, click on Repair. Allow the repair to complete, then restart the PC.

– If any of the Avast components did not install correctly during the initial installation of the software, go to Control Panel > Programmes > Uninstall a programme > Select Avast, then click on Edit. In the Avast window that opens, click on Edit. You will see a list of Avast components on the screen; tick the components you wish to install or untick those you wish to uninstall.
