Avast 4.8 Home -- Build: Jul2008 (4.8.1229) currently
WinXP SP3
Online Armor Firewall
Spybot S&D
The last three times I have updated the Avast Program files, either by clicking Tools... Updating... Program Update or by clicking the notification that pops up in the right corner of the screen, my computer fails to start after a reboot. In each case I have had to go into Safe Mode, uninstall Avast, manually download a new copy of the program and reinstall it.
The upgrade appears to proceed normally and no error messages are displayed. On reboot attempts there is no error message or blue screen displayed, it just hangs.
It's not a huge big deal to me, 'cause I can get things working again, but I thought you'd like to know. You guys have a great antivirus program and I'm just delighted that you let me use it for free.
