Another one. Vista x64 Ultimate. Avast upgraded itself from 5.1.889. If I do I system restore to before the upgrade everything is OK. Once it upgrades itself problem is back. Nothing else was changed on the PC. BTW, those of you saying you stayed on an older version, how did you do that ? My update settings are "ask first", but Avast does the upgrade without asking, and THEN tells me. Did you switch to manual ?
I have the default installations of the free versions of Anti-Malware and Superantyspyware, and no, I am not uninstalling them.
Anyway, I switched to another product (for now), no time for playing games.
While I am not a big proponent of MS, and have been a user of Avast for a long time, I have to agree with MS on this. All I see here is ;we don't know what is happening, but we know for sure it is not us. It is everybody else. "Uninstall all other programs, reboot your PC, reinstall Avast, jiggle your cables, and wiggle your ears".
How about Avast doing something about it ?
Isn't it time for Avast to take this seriously, instead of loosing the trust of users earned over the years ?
