I have seen the suggested exclusions in reply #235 on page 16, but they suggest that they are only for MBAM pro users.
I have MBAM free and Avast free.
I also experienced these issues, and had to uninstall Avast in order to get my PC to start up cleanly.
I have now reverted to version 1466, until a fix is released for 1473.
Is this likely, or do we need to add some exclusions for MBAM free, if so what do I need to do if I want to update Avast to the latest program version?
Strangely, I have the same combination of applications on another Win 7 64 bit machine (plus zonealarm free) and I am not experiencing any issues whatsoever!
