I have tried updating Avast but again it crashes. I have tried removing Avast when you click on uninstall it asks you to confirm administrator rights but does nothing. I have tried running Avast antivirus scan but it crashes or freezes everytime.
FIREWALL WONT TURN ON AVAST ANTIVIRUS UPDATE
Turn on Windows Firewall Manually - Close" I click the link to do it manually which brings up a dialog box telling me to update my settings which I do, give the computer permission and then nothing happens. I have tried opening Windows Security Centre and turning on Windows Firewall but it comes up with the following messages "Security Center can't turn on Windows Firewall. I also get a pop up telling me that "Google Desktop did not startup sucessfully - OK" One was Windows Security centre telling me that Windows Firewall is off and not protection you. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available - Close Program". A problem caused the program to stop working properly. One was a windows pop up saying "Windows Live Messenger has stopped working. Please check that the avast service (AvastSvc.exe) is not blocked by your personal firewall. One was Avast Anti Virus saying" Avast will not be able to protect mail/news (error 10044). I switched it on and several pop up windows appeared. Its old but works until a couple of days ago. I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 Model PP29L Intel Core Duo 1.67 GHz running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 32-bit. After reading this forum topic it seems like I am having very similar issues.
