[Aljonaticsss]

I bought my new PC last 2 weeks.

Specs:

MOBO: Asus Prime B 360M-A
CPU: Intel Core i5-9400
VC: GTX 1050TI
RAM: HYPERXFURY 8GB
SSD: KINGSTON 240GB
HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB
OS: WIN 10 64 BIT

Problem is when I installed Avast, OS gets corrupted. So I install Win 10 again then use another anti-virus (Avira) , no problems occur. Then yesterday I tried to install Avast again my OS got corrupted again. Does anyone of you know why it happens?

First, when I open folders like "Documents" "Downloads" I can't open it. There's a error that I think saying that the can't find the path of this folders. All my installed software are gone Ex. (IDM, PowerISO, Chrome, Far Cry 5, Cod WWII). Then my pc goes on blue screen.

After the OS install, what else did you install?
And where did that come from?

WHEN IS USE AVAST AFTER OS INSTALLATION:
What I remembered, after OS, I installed chrome, idmm power iso, utorrent. Then avast, after that the problem occurs. I got those software from their websites. Games are from oceanofgames and pirate bay.

WHEN IS USE AVIRA AFTER OS INSTALLATION:
Same soft wares installed and the same websites where I got them. Same games installed and same websites. I got no problem with my PC.


The day I bought my PC July 20 error occurred with AVAST. But when I installed AVIRA on July 21 up to yesterday morning no problem occurs. Last night is when I tried to install AVAST again then problem occurs.

And therein lies the problem.
Pirated software often (usually) includes malware.
That malware often (usually) will screw with your antivirus applications.

Recommendation:
Full wipe and reinstall of everything.
Everything except, of course, the pirated software that is the root cause of your issues.

Tom's Hardware has a strict policy on pirated software and its effects.
