Hi Tech,
I have followed your instructions to the letter. (Again and again)
I get to put the login password in and as the startup items (MSCONFIG items) are running after about 30 seconds it hangs (Again)
If I boot to safe mode and disable Self Defence, Root Kit scan and Start Services after others it still hangs (Again!!)
If I stop the avast services and boot, it comes up everytime...
I have tried to persevere with 4.8 but I starting to lose confidence. This particular machine running XP had 4.7 installed originally, so it has been working with Avast on for a couple of months without issue. Nothing new has been installed.
We purchase/recommend a lot of Avast products for our clients and for this particular client we convinced them to move away from McAfee and they have 20 machines we have to install Avast later this month when their current AV contract expires....or maybe not.
The user of the this laptop has now been without his laptop for over a week, as he roams and doesn't want to use his laptop without an AV product running.
Is there a location I can get hold of 4.7 again until these issues are sorted?
Kind regards
Iain
