martosurf, it's a bit shame that you already reinstalled the program - I would have asked you to do some additional experiments... never mind, maybe someone else will report the same problem and we can do it on their machine.

Thanks

Can you please check the registry value PendingFileRenameOperations in the key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager?
What does it contain?

Thanks

This value doesn't exist on the key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager.

Did you disable creating of short file names (8+3) by some tool?

Download this registry fix and run it to enable short file names again:
http://public.avast.com/~forejt/Enable8dot3Name.reg

Then start program update and restart afterwards.

I've setted long time ago 'don't create short names' and avast! allways worked excellent, may be you change something in lastest build? I remember Norton's solutions suffer from this.

Yes, editing the registry, but a long time ago (almost 3 years). So, why this tweak is giving problem just now ?

Maybe a new avast installation procedure... only the programmers would be able to say something.

Still experiencing weird "Need to reboot" issues randomly, for example right after log on (sometimes), after trying to update while connection to internet is disabled, after doing a manual check for updates, etc...  :'(

Did you try the registry fix?
Can you post the contents of your setup log files as asked above to another user?
