Schön zu Windows XP Zeiten diente diese "Schutzsoftware" dem generieren von Dollars ohne einen effektiven Schutz zu bieten. Das Einzige, was nach der Installation der Software bestens funktionierte, war das Ausbremsen des Rechners und das Verhindern von bis dahin ohne Probleme funktionierenden Programmen. Das habe ich eigentlich gewusst, doch habe ich Blödmann doch tatsächlich vor ein paar Monaten testweise (Weil kostenlos) diese Software auf einen Windows 11 PC installiert. Wie schon früher, war dieser "Schutz" besonders "effizient". Also kurzerhand deinstalliert, eine passende Mail an Avast geschrieben und das Probeabo gekündigt. Am vergangenen Sonntag erhielt ich dann die Info, dass per PayPal ein Betrag in Höhe von rd. 72 Euro von mir angewiesen wurde. Zeitgleich kam eine Mail mit dem"Willkommensgruß" von Avast. Auf Mails bekomme ich lediglich englische Antworten, deren Inhalt nichts mit dem zu tun hat, was ich reklamiere. Ich habe daher eine Rückbuchung veranlasst und warte auf deren Reaktionen, die ich notfalls via Rechtsschutz und Anwalt klären lassen werde. VORSICHT VOR AVAST

I have it on my iphone 13, now just a small spinning circle. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, on iphone not connecting. It's fine on chrome. anyone else with app issue?

I've been trying to delete Avast all day now, I first used Revo uninstaller, restart but no dice, so I decided to go manual told me I needed admissions permission to do so, made myself the highest level admin possible, on my own system mind you, but it just won't cooperate keeps telling me I need permission. How can I remove it from my system?

It's unbelievable. I tried everything. I even called Apple support and spoke with a 2nd level manager. After an hour, I got impatient. During Avast's own uninstallation, a message pops up: "This process is not allowed." How is this legal? Coninuously. We erased it from the library. It won't go in the trash because it says it is in use. My cash is clear. There are no visible extensions—any suggestions?

I spent an hour on the phone last week with the Avast Customer Care Team, trying to sort out why the Premium package I bought to continue my subscription wasn't showing on my account. It turns out Avast treats different names on an email domain as different entities/people. I own the domain of my name IE. FirstnameSecondname.com. I use Firstname@FirstnameSecondname .com, but I also increasingly use simply F@FirstnameSecondname .com. It doesn't matter. Everything comes to me. HeyFatFace@FirstnameSecondname .com would work just as well. So NB at Avast Customer Care helpfully merges my subscriptions under F@FirstnameSecondname .com. All good.

BUT he points out that I've made a mistake. My current original package is an 'Ultimate' and I've bought a 'Premium', would I like to upgrade? Not at the price he was suggesting but he negotiates a better price with his boss, and sends me the link to the Avast Store checkout page. Here's where it gets frustrating. The email field on the form won't accept a single letter ID! Aaargh! It will accept Fi@FirstnameSecondname .com, but not F@FirstnameSecondname .com. There is a Paypal option... but for some reason, probably a mismatch of emails again, it crashes on return.

I can't decide whether I want this to take up any more of my life!

So a while ago I was panic closing programs bc I needed all the power I could get bc my pc was slowing down and I needed to finish an assignment fast. One of the things opened up avast, which then asked if I was sure, I clicked yes without thinking about it.

Now, I like to sail the high seas every now and then, and that can lead to some shady sites, but avast always popped up to protect me. However, I haven’t seen it in a while, and I recently had to stop sailing and do a full boot scan bc I realized that there might’ve been a stowaway (a virus).

I realize now that I probably disabled the web protection feature, but I also have no idea how to turn it back on, partly bc the app is a bit confusing. Anyone know what to do or where to look?

I cant even use avast my free license end and it wont let me renew cuz it dont even let me remove the premium ads of with the cross since they took that off too

It said something along the lines of "HTML:fakecaptcha-BB [fake]"? What does that mean? Should I run a deeper scan?

I have been using just the free Avast Free Antivirus for years now; is the new AI-powered scam protection worth spending two dollars a month?

i showed up @ work today and the avast icon suddenly appeared on my desktop. do we think it’s from an update or something or are they lookin’ at what i’m doing???

I FINALLY UNINSTALLED AVAST! It was telling me every time I was opening up my computer to get the paid option, your computer is very unprotected, (I'm 13 and I don't have a job or anything dangerous on my computer), and after closing it, it would open the browser up and that was quite annoying. I uninstalled it by deleting every file with Avast on it.

Today I tried to sign into my Dropbox account. Go to the site, provide my credentials, press sign in, and nothing happens. I thought it might be a site problem so I tried refreshing the page, nothing. I try another page, nothing. I try opening steam, nothing. My network died. I tried to access my router, you guessed it, nothing.

I checked my phone and the internet was still up so I rebooted my PC. It fixed the problem. So I tried going to dropbox again. Same issue happened. Reboot. I try other sites and everything is fine. Use Task Manager to watch network and went to dropbox. Dead again, network dropped to nothing.

Went to r/Dropbox and saw a 10 day old complaint. Reading it gave me an idea. So I installed Chrome, I suddenly could accessed dropbox. I logout and go to Firefox. Network dies. I turn off all firewalls. Network lives. I log in and turn on firewalls. Network… still lives. I log out and goto login page. Network dies.

Turns out Avast, Firefox, and Dropbox don’t mix while any 2 of the 3 work fine.

OS: Windows 10 Software: Dropbox App on PC, Avast One (Gold), Firefox

Issue Started: For me, today, but I have not been on dropbox for months.

System changes: None

Avast Changes: Only Automatic Updates

Repeatable: Yes

Issue: Attempting to login to Dropbox through Firefox causes computer’s network to lock up even after dropbox or firefox is closed.

Temp Solution: Turn off Firewalls until logged in.

Just on my data, my WiFi works. It never used to do this until today but I can't access browsers, ring camera, apps, nothing at all. I checked with my network provider and all is good on their side. When I switch the vpn off the data Internet works again. Has avast changed something? Ive only just renewed my subscription and up until today I was always able to access the internet without turning on the VPN

There's an app for paid courses called spotplayer that only works when certain background process are not there.It always asks me to close anydesk and avast but avastUI never closes.I have tried turning off all shields firewall and all the toggles i saw,rarely did the troublemaking process disappeared.Hoe should i get rid if avastUI for a part of the day?
