avast free version causes crash
« on: August 16, 2012, 08:30:53 PM »
I have a new HP laptop with win 7 Home Premium and AMD E-300 processor. I tried twice to install and use Avast free version. Each time it caused the system to crash. I had to boot in safe mode and uninstall Avast.

did you uninstall the Norton trail version that usually comes with HP before installing avast ?

and use norton removal tool to remove any leftover files that may conflict?
