Hi, this morning before I went to class, I updated from my Avast! Free 2014 installation to Avast! Free 2015 via the built-in updater. However, I noticed that I was having a problem where my screen brightness would randomly brighten itself before promptly returning to the brightness that I have it set as when running on battery power. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but it seems to happen very often, and is somewhat annoying. To remedy this problem, I've tried a clean install (twice). The first time, I installed all of the tools that are ticked on by default in the custom installer, but the problem persisted. As of the second clean install, I unticked NG in the custom installer, and my laptop has not had the problem with the brightness since then. While I'm glad the problem is gone, I'd really like the extra protection that NG offers. Any suggestions?
My laptop is currently running Windows 8.1 with Avast! Free 2015 and Malwarebytes Free.
