My computer wouldn’t restart after installing the Avast v. 8.0.1482 update. I’ve tried twice: once through the program, & once through Avast’s website - but both times, it froze at the first restart screen. I had to unplug, then run System Restore to get it up & running. I have the Avast Free Edition v. 7.0.1482 & Vista-64 Home Premium.
Pavel’s forum post says, “It should be possible to install this version on top of your existing avast! Installation,” but that’s obviously not the case – at least, not for me. I’ve had similar problems with previous updates, & was advised to run Avast’s Uninstall utility, then start over from scratch.
Will that fix this bug? If so, do you have a link for that Uninstall utility?
