hi
upgrading to v 4.8,and whats happen:
-red circle on icon,
-not possible ,make any changes in program options(eg.turn off self protection),because after this,avast back to original state(program remove checkmarks,itself),
-not possible make changes to .ini files(data folder)-access denied,
-not possible uninstall,from controll panel(after click,only hour glass is visible for 2-3 sec)
-not possible using uninstaller,because if i go to safe mode system hangs on the middle loading drivers(before upgrade sys working 100 % fine)
-if i tray run AV,I GET THE MESSAGE"problem accessing files" or "problem access data base"
in my opinion,looks like self protection ,"protects "everything
because uninstall is not possible in my situation,i manually remove registry,files etc.,
then i run,uninstaller....make clean install...(DISABLE OTHER APPS IN STARTUP)and back to the same point
win XP-SP 3,4GB RAM,zone alarm firewall,comodo boclean
version AV 4.7 working fine for one year...no problems
any suggestions,very welcome....thanks(sorry for my English)
