How to Troubleshoot Common Avast Antivirus Issues

Avast comes with the complete package of antivirus and Internet security software that offers real-time protection against all kinds of malware, spyware, viruses, and Internet threats. However, if you come to face any difficulties with the Avast antivirus, then get the help and assistance of Avast customer support experts to resolve the problems quickly and efficiently. Here are some of the common issues with Avast antivirus that need the professional help to be fixed.

Fix 1 - Insufficient Storage

You may face the insufficient storage error if the database Avast Virus Definition has not been up-to-date for several months. It mostly happens with the older Windows OS versions. If it occurs, visit the Avast’s official site and download the complete Virus Definition database, and install it completely. After installing Avast, ensure that it’s configured to update automatically for smaller downloads.

Fix 2 - Norton Conflicts

Norton antivirus doesn’t uninstall completely when a command ‘auto-uninstall’ is used via the ‘Remove Programs’ window on your Windows operating system. If you’re getting an error saying that ‘Can't Connect, Can't Update,’ it’s suggested to click the ‘My Computer’ icon. Access the C drive and move to the ‘Programs’ section. Click the ‘Norton’ button. Now, remove all remaining files from the previous antivirus software manually. Later on, repair and reinstall the Avast program. If the error continues, click the ‘F3 FIND’ option and input the ‘SYMANTEC & NORTON’ into the appropriate text field. Delete several entries. Restore the backup of registry data, removing all remaining files.

Fix 3 - Windows Vista Problems

Avast antivirus is very delicate to antispyware programs. You may get an undefined error when trying to install the Windows Vista OS. It mainly happens when an antispyware application installed on your PC. Access the ‘malwarebytes.org’ website and try downloading the spyware removal utility. Once the installation completed, run a full system scan. After removing the antispyware software, you will be able to install Avast without any hassle. The antispyware program doesn’t specify the program is malicious, and it just happens because of a conflict with Avast.

Fix 4 - Avast Antivirus Error

Unlike some free antivirus software that can scan, diagnose quarantine, block and delete the malicious program, Avast antivirus free version can only examine, diagnose and warns of the problem. You have to manually remove the malicious software that can create various security problems. You can also perform a system scan regularly and remove the malware and fix other security-related issues. Use the Professional version of Avast to remove malware automatically.

Fix 5 - Expert Insight

When looking for the computer security, try to download the complete package of your antivirus program in which it includes the antivirus, firewall, antispyware, encryption, antimalware, and data backup as well. By using the Avast antivirus premium version, you will be able to lower the risk of security breaks by cybercriminals, as they can efficiently analyze that you’re not using the improved security software to secure your PC.
