On my Windows 7 SP1 machine (all Microsoft updates installed), running Avast free 17.6.2310 since day it was released.
About half the time my machine starts up the Behavior Shield is not running and has to be manually started via the UI. This never happened with 17.5. This is happening to other people I do computer support for, also starting with 17.6 release.
I have tried running a repair, and even uninstalling (avastclear.exe) and installing new. No other virus software has ever been installed on my machine.
Any ideas? I thought this was supposed to be fixed in 17.6, not broken.
