6.0 Restart Continual Recycling

[hallowed]

I had the same problem on a WinXP SP1 machine. Just went back to Avast 5.1.889 and it works fine again.

Same problem - do not work after all these years. Restarting continuous after boot. What can I do ? Press F8 for safe Windows boot and afterward

I had the same problem on a WinXP SP1 machine.

From the download page - System Requirements

Operating Systems Supported
Windows 7
Windows Vista (any Edition excl. Starter Edition)
Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or higher)

BTW, XP SP1 has been unsupported by MS for ages and XP SP2 since July 13, 2010. You are not getting hotfixes for critical Windows vulnerabilities. You seriously can't rely on an AV or security suite to make up for this fact.

I was not complaining My reasoning was maybe it will work, maybe it will not

It's not my primary machine, so I'm not worried about critical Windows vulnerabilities.

Working on SP1 from 2004 with same soft (except Firefox and Avast) - never got problems. Avast was exellent free antivirus which worked fine on old OS.

Same thing happened with me. XP SP2. Had to start in safe mode and restore to before update of program. Update only if you have XP SP3 or later.
