I run Windows XP and I updated through the program, now whenever I start my computer this shows up is there any known fix, it's not a huge issue, just kind of annoying.

I have the same problem with two XP computers.
However, on Windows 7 64b it doesn't appear any more.

I guess it may be related with the install Chrome option that doesn't appear in Windows XP but it was present in Windows 7.

One of the XP computers has Chrome installed but the other one no.

There should be an official fix for this.

I have the same issue, I use Windows XP w/ SP3 as well,  it's getting pretty annoying.

DJBone; not sure what your link has to do with this issue.

This fixed it for me

In avast5.ini set ShowSetupOutro to 0. (Disable self defence to do so.)

Don't people read existing threads anymore? Besides, I heard the problem goes away after a few reboots.

Same issue here: Win2000 and Comodo Firewall installed.
I don't know where is the avast5.ini file.

The problem is probably caused by the avast! service starting too slowly. It will be fixed.

Good. I'll be thankful when it is.

I'm running Win7 64b with Firefox and IE. No Chrome here. This screen pops up every time I boot up my machine and it's really irritating, so the faster you fix it, the happier I'll be. ;)

I had to do a clean install with the Uninstall Utility to get rid of the "installation almost complete screen" on reboot and new registration.

Tip:  If you don't see the Avast Uninstall Utility in Safe Mode Admin Mode, switch to OWNER and it should be there.

I am sure that Press to Finish Installation Splash Screen on reboot will be fixed with the next release.

I'll say this once, Avast! just better not go down the road of Microsoft and start issuing defective updates, or it's goodbye!
I've waisted enough time over the issue and will not be editing configuration files manually so where is the fix and make it fast please Avast!

AND! use a different verification method for goodness sake. I can't read that rubbish! It take many resets to find one that I can read!

It did for me. One computer only. The others were fine.
