Avast Keeps Crashing & Getting Corrupted Lately

[REDACTED]

Greetings, 

This be my first post to the forum, but this topic have been becoming a huge headache to me lately after each update.

I've been noticing this problem now the past 3 or 4 months now. Who else have been struggling with this problem of after each installation update of Avast, that the program stops working, that you get error messages, get pop up's that the program can't run, that it needs to restart, and then you click restart, but nothing happens, or that it completely becomes corrupted that you are required to uninstall it, redownload the program and reinstall it, with a lot of trouble, as the program keeps telling you there's an error that it can't currently install...?

I've been quite a few years with Avast, and this is a new thing that's occurring. I had a program corruption long ago, that got itself infected by a virus, but I solved it through uninstalling it, and reinstalling it.. since then, I've had no other problems.. until now again.... and this is with each update install through Avast.

I hope someone would be able to enlighten me with what's going on and why this is happening so constantly now...

Kind regards,
Hunt

- Which Avast..? (Free/Pro/IS/Premier)
- Which version..?
- OS..? (32/64 Bit..? - which SP/Build..?)
- Other security related software installed..?
- Which AV(s) did you use before Avast..?

I have the Avast Free Version, it's on Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. I don't know which version of Avast it is though.. But it's the latest version I upgrade to. Under the Update section, I let it update the program and virus definitions.
