I had this problem. Mysteriously vanished after several starts.

just curious, how is avast 7 working for you right now ?.
every one is having big major problems with avast 7 final .
i figured out how to get rid of the nag screen , once i figured out a couple of things from this link that "ady4um" gave me. so that part is fine now, loads up fine.
but i noticed that the new avast 7 is buggy, had to disable the "auto sandbox" thing for now , but i'm having trouble with the manual update, maybe the servers are loaded too full, who knows. i will try the manual update tomorrow sometime, when the servers are not loaded, so who knows.
i wish the Avast team would of tested this out alittle longer before they released it as final , hope to god i can get a hold of my uncle soon , cuz he has avast 6 installed, got to tell him to hold off on the program update before its too late.
i'm not going back to avast 6, after reading alot of recent threads , my pc might be doomed, but my pc is acting fine at the moment, knock on wood.
so the question to the creators of Avast 7 free, are you working on a fix on all these problems ?, are you going to come up with a emergency fix update ?.
if avast free dont work right , how do you expect us to be future buyers $$$$ of your other programs.
