U have to wait for all those updates to finish installing before anytin can be said.I'm sure u will be able to continue work wen its done

Hi all, I need help with my Avast antivirus.

It always goes off on its own periodically from time to time, like every five hours.
The antivirus protection just switches itself off and then notifies me to turn it on again......
This is the notification; I've been getting it for more than a month now.
vvvvvvvvvv




I've checked all the antivirus settings and everything seems to be in place, whenever I check, the antivirus protection is On, but that same windows notification will come up again after sometime saying its off.
I also scanned the system and there are no viruses found and no malawares or spywares or anything harmful.
What could be the problem??

Thanks for your help.

Hello all ya, thanks to all your response to others, that great...

I think that I Need help from you all.

Ie my Parkard-bell PC, unfortunately I disconnected it from the batter source while charging besides the PC was just powered On at that pointing time....since then, I power it again but all I see is PARDARD-BELL. No welcome screen again, No password check again. Just PARDARD-BELL.

I am using windows 7, 19V...

brightk: did u buy it as a brand new pc if yes have u ever formated it b4 now...?

sameolg616:
Why do u wan reforrmat?it shd be a last option.wat problems were u encountering?else maybe u. Just wan learn ow to use recovery or wiping someone else' laptop?we need to be sure
falansa:

Thanks for the honest reply, i bought it brand new four months ago and i have not formated it before. Reasons why i intend to format is include
1) the disk space is almost full without know what docs occupy the spaces
2) It is getting slower, and at times take up to a min before vlc player can load, and also took longer than normal when switching it off.
3) window defender have been notifying since a week ago that there malware on the system and when i scanned it wit antivirus, it found none
And lastly i think d dvd rom driver is faulty coz the dvd rom will eject itself without playing anytime i inserted any disk to it.
I just want to recover it back to the first time i bought it with a view that the problems mentioned above will be solved.
Your help will be highly appreciated, thanks sir

Am still waiting for respond pls

first,i suspect your backup has been triggered ON..you are geyying cummulative backups on ur hard drive and that is what is taking up all the space(i have treated this case many times,u really need to be smart to see it else u will be wondering for hrs what the problem is)nad while that backup is running,ur system becomes incredibly slow..
click on START,find the folder MAINTENANCE..open it and click on BACKUP AND RESTORE
when its open..press the PRNTSCR key on ur keyboard(to capture the screen)
open paint and press CTRL+V to paste it
save it and upload it here on nairaland so i can have a detailed view of which drive is getting used up if activated..
as for the malware notification ,u will need a proper antivirus..but one step at a time.formatting a system all the time weakens the life-span of the hard drive..no need yet to format it
call me on 08061679732 i can help look into all these probs

Donsammi: .. itz iz normal but u can disable the windows update ... click strt button type windows update ..
updates refresh and keep ur system up-to-date but when on automatic mode,it will quietly use up ur bandwidth wen ur on the internet because it will be downloading any and all updates whether needed or not..i would advise u turn it off

I'm not even searching for a used one in the first place. The size of the hard drive that came with the Hp mini is 320gb. I thought its impossible to upgrade the size of the hard drive except the ram which can upgraded (I may be wrong, not an IT expert). I need an exact and reliable quote of the 320gb hard drive. Thank u

DMG files are supported by Mac OS X. It is wise for you to open in a Macbook computer because it is Mac OS x disk image file.
