I initially installed Avast Pro on Tuesday night. Had to uninstall it because I couldnt get past the Welcome screen after I logged into Windows 7. I re-installed it had the same issues. I restarted in safe mode, restored back to prior to avast installation. I re-installed and disabled Avast on the system start up configuration. My computer started no problems after this. And I just manually started the program. Yesterday I was prompted to update...so I did. All problems came back. This time in safe mode I couldnt even restore because something was preventing the troubleshooter and the system restore functions from working. I uninstalled again...and after reading some of the comments about the newest update, I reinstalled Avast. NOW it is prompting me to update...if I didnt just download the latest update, what DID I download? I did use the same email link I got when I initially purchased the software. I went ahead and paid for the subscription because of good reviews and because compared to McAfee I was going to get more for my money, but it appears that so far Ive had nothing but headache. I dont understand...as far as I know Ive found all the McAfee components and either disabled them or uninstalled them.
I have a Dell inspiron N4110, with Windows 7 -64bit with SP 1, 4g RAM and a 500G hard drive with well over 300G free space.
