As the title says. I deinstalled everything and my machine started behaving normally again. I checked my machine using both CCleaner and WiseCare 365 and everything was fine. Then the moment I reinstalled Avast 2015, the freeze on restart reoccured.
Of note : immediately after installation, eveything works fine. The problem happens after reboot.
What happens : WinXP boots all fine, the desktop appears as well as the Start bar. The Start button even appears functionnal, but nothing is launchable. The Avast icon in the corner appears, but never spins.
When I attempt to turn Windows off, the logoff process hangs with the desktop image and stays there forever.
Can I get Avast 2014 back ?
