Slow boot up for me since I upgraded (Gui) to latest version. Other functionality working OK. Please note in that I refuse to do a clean install has I have done this so many times in the past as it seems the only way to resolve problems with Avast. I am tired of Avast updates not working properly from the start and If I uninstall Avast again this time it will be to go to a competitor. Hopefully the folks at Avast will come out with a solution quickly.
Have to agree with you. What other product can you name that requires this everytime there is an update:
1. Uninstall- Reboot
2. Boot into Safe-mode-
3. Run aswclear.exe.
4. Reboot back into Normal mode
5. Reinstall product- Reboot
6. Reconfigure all exclusions, customizations (how long does this take??)
7. Cross your fingers and hope the next update doesn't do one of the following virus like things!
a. Slow down boot times
b. Block your internet or email
c. BSOD your pc for no particular reason.
d. Kill your performance during normal operation (firewall buggy- slow- unoptimized)
e. Lose its license details
f. Scan right when you need to work- killing your pc performance.
g. Anything else I missed?
Jeez a virus or malware could waste as much time as avast does lately. I would like to underline your comment:
