It is the only thing changed between uninstalling and reinstalling AVAST, other than disk cleaning I do each reboot.Avast 2016 Antivirus – A Full Guide to the Top Antivirus of 2016

In the meantime I turned Windows Defender on after I uninstalled AVAST, and ran an update and scan.Ĭould that have any possible relation to the AVAST showing 'Smart home risks' as the fourth step stage? I don't normally change any software from it's default settings, and never customize AV or important windows settings unless there is a specific problem where the vendor or verifiable professional advise it, and I understand fully. So this poses 2 questions - where did the 'Smart home risks' 4th step even come from? and how did it get activated? (and where did the advanced issues go to).Ĭould the camera security system on Ethernet been involved with the issue (of AVAST getting stuck)? The broken step is gone too, it is now back to what I remembered it being, the 4th step is now back to being called 'Advanced issues'! Well ok, this is interesting was not expecting much, but it did fix it - but If Defender has real-time AV, I will just run with that. I thought only one of the Microsoft products had any real-time AV (and wasn't about to pay for any Microsoft product)

I got a warning to pay for a license after a year pasted on this new computer, and that is when I installed AVAST. I just learned the difference between Microsoft Essentials, and Windows Defender. Well, I just uninstalled and reinstalled it. Incidentally, it is not 'frozen', in can be ran through the results pages as many times as I want it just won't 'finish' or proceed past the 3rd results report step. He has a security camera system here, and maybe it gets stuck on that. I don't remember that before, and maybe that is a change, and maybe it is buggy. Right now, I see it appears to be a new product promoted there at the 4th step position it is now labeled 'Smart home risk'. Incidentally, I think the last step used to be a 'PC issues or performance' step (for their premium product) but it runs those unpaid scans anyway, and have to choose 'skip' or buy it, during the results reports in order to finish and exit the smart scan. The main concern is if this is broken, is everything else functioning normally. I have a lot of work up on my screen right now, but will try a reinstall later sometime.
It seems to have been doing this since about 2 AVAST updates ago, and one or two Windows updates?.ĭidn't help, repair didn't change anything. I tried both letting it sit until after finishing all steps, before clicking any 'next's, and also tried immediately clicking each 'next' as it came up. (It show 'No malware found, Good for you!', but the 'Next' button no longer will progress the results routine). The 4 steps I refer to are 'Browser threats' 'Outdated apps' 'Viruses and malware' and 'Smart home risks'.Īll 4 show progress and get their applicable check-mark or exclamation point it is just the results that hang beyond step 3. Once I run a smart scan (after a computer reboot), it again gets stuck at the same place, and cannot run another smart scan until I restart it again.
Have to restart computer to again access the starting page of AVAST, the one that displays the 'Start Smart Scan' button. Once I get to third step, which is the virus scan results, the next button is unresponsive, and can't proceed any further (cant get to step 4, 'smart home risks' results).Ĭan't 'Finish'. The 'next' button used to work through all 4 steps, and I had to 'fix' or 'skip' at some steps and then last step would say 'finish' IIRC. Does it the same on several of my computers. Does anyone know about this or seen it happen?Īvast Smart Scan progresses normally, scanning for malware and completes all 4 steps, but the results won't proceed any further than the 3rd step of 4 steps (of displaying the results) upon pressing the 'next'.Īnother words, the scans and checks themselves complete, but the results stop at 'Viruses and Malware', and won't go any further, OR complete.
