Same for me.  Updated to latest version, restarted, now it won't turn on.  Win7 64-bit.

Hello,

I was having the same problem but here is how I resolved it: you have to manually restart Avast! Services.

Here the steps:

1. Go to Control Panel
2. System and Security
3. Administrative Tools
4. Services
5. Avast! Antivirus
6. Restart
7. Start
8. Done!

This should manually restart all Avast services if this does not help sorry... I don't know what else.

Hell of an introduction to a good outfit. I am a fan boy, been for a long time, however, bad update, I am strongly suggesting is happening. The first time I have ever seen such a thing out of them. Guessing Win 7? http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=108279.msg857450#msg857450 , should work just fine and too much work for you to even have to do..but I do think they are still the best, inspite of this and will get better  ;D
