After updating to Avast 2015 I rebooted the computer and everything froze up. I cwas unable to click on anything and hovering the pointer over the taskbar gave me an hour glass. After about ten minutes I rebooted the computer and then received a message about secureserver VPN not connecting properly.
Then a family member inquired about what was going on with the computer and then went into a screaming rage, accusing me of wiping out the entire hard drive and claiming that it was all my faullt because I updated Avast and never should have updated because it always causes problems with the computer.
The reason I want to downgrade is because it's the only way that I know of to deal with this family member without things getting seriously out of hand.
