Damage....did you get a blue screen crash when or after avast tried to update. I am running Win 7 64 bit and am having a similar problem. It would blue screen during or right after avast would update at bootup. After reboot avast 5 would seem to be working but would not update. When tring to update def`s or program would get a message ...package is broken. I tried repairs but did not work. I got 5 to work only by removing and re-installing avast 5. This happened 3 times.....now I seem to be working ok by turning off auto updates. In settings .....engine & virus def........I changed it to....Ask when a update is avaiable. I also unchecked ....use special graphic effects. When I boot up I wait a while then do updates manually. So far no BSOD and avast 5 seems to be working ok. You might try this....you never know. I`m going to hobble along like this and see if they get things sorted out......Peter
