Sorry, that's not my point.
I'm not talking about the startup or autorun.
I'm talking about the taskplaner!
I created tasks, supposed to be running some time during the day,
when the system has been booted long ago,
i.e. I've booted my system in the morning and these tasks are running in the afternoon.
Well, they should, but many of them fail.
So, it's very unlikely something within the booting procedure is affected or causing this.
I, as well, created some tasks running after booting my system,
but I already added a sufficient delay to be sure the booting procedure is complete,
before any of these tasks would start.
Still these tasks fail.
They did not with the previous Avast version. Instead, they used to work great back then.
Let me add, I'm not using the Windows logon prompt, since I'm the only user of my system.
You talking about a workaround?
Isn't it funny, if anything goes wrong, it's "always" the user's fault, "never" the one of the product!
What every user wants is a flawlessly working product, and not having to deal with whatever workarounds.
As soon as it comes to any "workarounds", there's something wrong with the product, not with the user or his system.
Avast up to v. 8.x.x was great, but v.2014 is not, sorry!
Well, the last one if v. 8.x.x wasn't exactly fast, but at least it did work, except for the certificate issue with Thunderbird.
@ kluless
Many times, after updating to v.2014, my XP Home SP3 system didn't shut down either.
Then, I was forced to shut it down "the hard way", i.e. by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
Now, I will give it a chance for one more day.
If anything is failing again by then, I will definitely go back to v8.0.1497, until v.2014 will get to a true "final version" state.
EDIT:
I have to add one more thing.
Looks like the coders of Avast have forgotten netbook users, because the last installation window,
the one right after rebooting is too big for the 1024x600 screens.
Therefore, on these devices it's hard to reach the button below to finish the installation.
