Pls Help..Avast Kills My Internet by beejay247: 1:58pm On Mar 22, 2015
I cannot connect to the internet after uninstalling my Avast premier. I even tried uninstalling it using Avast uninstall utility in Windows 8 Safe Mode, still had the same problem.Only way for me to get the internet to work is to restore the system to before I uninstalled Avast

When I clicked on Device Manager under Network, I saw three yellow exclamation marks on WAN miniport Network Adapter

I discovered I wasn't the only one affected but Google did not reveal any simple fixes

Please help,my window is 8.1

May be your drivers for network are missing..... Try out Driverpack Solution, DriverEasy, Driver Genius, Driver Navigator ETC

Thank you...The problem is from Avast, I just need how I can uninstall avast and clear all its traces...Some people also complained about this and I have also tried some of the solutions suggested but it's still not working..

Here are some of the links I found online :

Guy, Uninstall avast in safe mode using "avast uninstaller" then re install your drivers and stop blaming avast for your predicament

You can't tell me not to blame avast because I see no reason why an application should be this hard to uninstall, they even have to create an avast uninstall utility because they know it's not easy to uninstall.

I actually decided to not renew my one year subscription because I hate been hold to ransom...lol....Some users are actually having this kind of problem too,you can check the links I posted

Okay...I tried to update the drivers but it's saying it's up to date...I don't know if I should uninstall the the drivers with the three yellow exclamation marks and reinstall it back, I don't know if this is a good idea and I need someone who have been through this before...

Thank you

Its not up to date. I use avast too and it doesn't affect the system drivers. You have to repair the OS using repair disc

Go to device manager;
Device manager – Remove all ‘Avast!’ virtual devices with a right click ‘Uninstall’
Restart your PC

Now, open ‘Network and sharing center-> Change Adapter settings-> Wifi Connection -> properties’. In the "This connection uses the following items"list

There was one more avast! filter device there. Select and uninstall that too and restart your PC again.

Uninstall all your network cards from (Control panel->System->Device manager)
Restart your computer.
Let windows attempt to install your network card for you.

Also, do this:

1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box and press Enter.
2. Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

3. Right click RunOnce and select Export to make a backup.
4. In the right plane, delete the value referenced to rundll32.
5. Quit Registry Editor.

Then, restart the computer to test the issue

Thank you bro, I will do this, but if I make a mistake uninstalling a driver, will system restore be able to fix this?
