Re: Avast 6 free edtion and computer lock-up Reply 18 on: March 12, 2011, 09:19:42 PM Well i would like to know how to uninstall avast 6 as i cannot convert my avast 4 Professional Edition license key. Try to focus on any logged events that appear to be Chrome related or the event time corresponds to that of a known lock-up time.

In the Open box type 'eventvwr' (without quotes).Įvent viewer is unfamilar territory for many people but you cannot do any harm spending some time looking around at the various categories of information being logged. Press the WIN key and the R key together. You will be looking for events that occur at the time of the crash and then work backwards to see what happened to cause that event (e.g., maybe opening Google.) Redwood City, CA - J Avast (LSE:AVST), a global leader in digital security and privacy products, has found that there has been a 51 increase in the use of spy- and stalkerware since the lockdown in March until June in comparison to January and February 2020. In fact, Avast is similar to most other anti-virus. 51 increase in the use of online spying and stalking apps during lockdown. Otherwise, if no errors codes are being presented, you may be able to find that information by using Event Viewer.Įvent Viewer records many things that happen on your computer: informational, warnings, and errors. Avast, like any anti-virus software, can lock up from time to time and stop your computer from working properly. My thought would be that there is some process or service being disrupted by Google Chrome or vice versa.ĭo you see any error codes or warning messages? If so posting that information will help.
