No, Bob.
I Kwow you tend to excuse a lot of Avast's behaviour.

But a deinstall routine has nothing to do with changes at my boot code. Absolutely nothing.

It's malicious like any kind of malware. A malware program that destroys a basic computer function?
No-go...
I don't excuse anything. This however isn't what you claim.
Your computer, your choice. If you aren't happy, it's up to you to make a change.

My computer, my choice? That's your answer to a very serious problem?

And nothing from the guys who write often here ... Pondus, Lisandro, DavidR ??
No statement frm the Avast team?

Ok - my choice: I change my AV software.

This marvellous tool pimped the boot manager which alsways starts in safe mode.
No, it just send a command to NEXT reboot on Safe Mode.
Which program are you using to make/restore images? Did you restore your MBR/Boot info?
The best things in life are free.

No, Lisandro - Safe Mode came about 5 or 6 times, and didn't stop.
My image Did __not__ restore the MBR.
And I restored the image only after several Resets.

But there is light at the horizon. This routine changes from normal to safe mode. And not once but permanent.
Tis is the connection  :(

The behaviour was on your system. Fix it manually and move on.
I've used this same removal tool hundreds of times and have only run into your problem once.
I fixed it manually via msconfig and that was that. If it was something prevalent, we would be seeing
posts all over the forum which is not the case.
