Hi, and thanks for any help in advance.
I am using Avast 5.0.545 on a Windows Vista Home Premium x64 system. When I boot to safe mode, run Avast and then try to execute a command (such as altering Avast settings) that requires my password, Avast does not properly recognize it -- I can't get past the password dialog. This does not happen after a normal boot (i.e., not in safe mode). Is this a bug, or could it be that Avast's password recognition relies on a service that does not get started within safe mode in order to maintain some kind of self-protection?
