Hi Hazelnut,
Thank you for the thread.
Now I'm even angrier with Avast. :angry: :angry:
I wrote their forum on Nov 13 asking for help in trying to recover the space and to date I've gotten absolutely no where. Worse yet, from what I see on the thread that you provided it's been a known problem to at least two avast team members, lukor and Kaspar, going back to May 2016.
Please don't think that I'm venting at you. I've written my comments with a little heat in hopes that somehow my comments get someone's attention at Avast. I think that it's awfully strange that Avast staff pays more attention to your discussion boards than they do their own.
Thanks again!
