I just installed version 1027 after version 1021 wiped out my ability to restart my computer.
I uninstalled version 1021 through windows uninstaller, then used the Avast uninstall utility in safemode to completely remove all traces of Avast.
I installed version 1027 as a clean install.
I can now restart my computer, however now I have a new problem.
Boot scan does not run. My computer just bypasses it and restarts.
My operating system is Vista Home Basic.
Inspite of this, I have used Avast for many years. It is a good product. Thanks to the team for all your hard work!
