"Why the heck you want to uninstall suchh a great piece of work?"
I take it you're not referring to 4.5?
Osborneuk, those issues in 4.5 doesn't make avast! bad product. Every product especially when releasing beta upgrades, has problems and issues. If you think different, why are you still using it ? Anyway, 4.5.536 is out and most likely fixed all those issues by now. Vlk said it's a last beta version before releasing final build probably during tomorrow...
If we don't trust our antivirus and our great Alwil team that is giving everything to fix those issues for us to be able to secure our systems much better than with other antivirus tools, then I don't know what should we do... start using Norton maybe ?
