@ hectic-mmv
You commented that "This problem for Vista 64b should be fixed in the latest beta" update and gave us a link..
I'm using avast version 8.0.1483 on a 64 bit Ultimate OS
On the link that was provided for a "fix" why is the problem with rebooting not mentioned ?
The update doesn't mention this at all.
Is anyone from Avast reading this thread that contains to this problem?
Also avast version 8 is working for me ,and it was installed twice even with the freezing at the progress bar.
Its an issue of freezing after avast ask for a restart ,and apparently some people aren't even able to get it
onto their machines (this was not my problem) only the freezing up at reboot.
So avast is still not addressing this freezing issue ,or why some people are unable to even install the new avast.
When an update comes out,and when avast addresses this specifically known issue relating to an update for it I will
do another program update ,until then I'm not going to mess around with whats on my pc now.
One person (on the link you gave) said they had to uninstalled Avast, downloaded Version 7, then updated to Version 8.0.1483,that's
not a fix that's the version I'm on .
Sounds like some comments are directed towards other problems that the latest update has.
If some people who are having this known issue here that we are discussing on this thread and do the latest update can they "PLEASE"
report their findings on how the installation went ,if the freezing at the progress bar after rebooting is a resolved problem.
I'm sure everyone on this thread would appreciate news regarding this update .
Until then no program update will I do.
