"Did you use avastclear when performing the clean installation ?"
Yes EDDY. The whole 9 yards
Inc reboot to safe mode as instructed etc etc. As i said I tried all solutions given to date.
I am just bringing this up here to state I am temporarily not using avast as a temp solution to this issue.
MY OPINON ONLY, I might be incorrect - I think this is an AVAST issue that the mothership has not solved yet? No "solutions" will actually work until avast sort this? Recent windows updates seem to have amplified this problem. You probably, the same as i have been around this sort of thing with MICROSOFT updates over the years. Unwittingly going out on calls to sort an issue that frankly we could never solve because the only solution is the next windows update the following tuesday
No disrespect to Avast - but time is money as they say. I have spent more than enough time already on this issue. i will know over next few weeks if similar is happening out in my customer base whoall have avast because of my recommendation.
No i have not tried beta .. If i get a chance later i will try that DEFINITELY and report back here if that solved the problem, thanks!
