I followed the instructions but it prevented to load Windows normally (boot start-up) so I had to expose myself naked to malware and reinstall the old version. Hope you'll solve this problem soon!
We'd certainly need some more info. What exactly happened?
If there was a bluescreen or restart... is there any corresponding minidump (in Windows/Minidump folder)?
No Igor,
Everything went OK except it blocked loading programs at start-up (I restarted ( but it did not restart twice, although when it stopped loading I was nervous and shut my computer off the normal way: tried to boot a second time but same result with loading)) (no blue screen, normal windows desktop but taskbar incomplete, no internet connection, no online armor firewalll...). First time this happens with AVAST, even in beta software. No minidump file in Windows. I have to admit I have major issues with major Windows installations (some critical Windows Update installations) and my ONLINE ARMOR FW HIPS was on. But usually even with Comodo D+ I had no problems. Giving it a second try??? I have to make up my mind. Thanks! :'(
I uninstalled the beta with Revo in safe mode and downloaded the more stable and final version of AVAST HOME and tested it with EICAR.com and it works. What more?!!
Oh yes, AVAST is installed in D:/PROGRAM FILES /AILWIL SOFTWARE
