Hey,
Sunday Night, I had my daughter install avast! on her laptop at school. The installation locked her computer running XP. We managed to boot in safe mode & uninstall avast! and the computer worked fine again.
I've been running avast! for a few months on my home computer. (No connection to my daughter's.) Tuesday, after the automatic update installed, MY computer locked up and eventually I had to reinstall XP. I lost 10 years worth of .doc files.
I have been highly recommending avast! to friends and neighbors, but this has really shell-shocked me. Did anyone else have this problem, or was it just me?
