Everything listed in the forum here, I’ve experienced. In my opinion, version 7 is still in a Beta process and should “have not” been released at this time. There are just too many bugs that need worked out. From systems locking and having to do a hard shutdown, updates freezing, sandbox popping up, and the list could go on, and on, and on!!! And what about this baloney that many get when they boot: “Complete Your Upgrade to avast 7, press the finish button". My God, you have to go into the database and correct this yourself. This is a finished product???
I myself never download a new version that had just come out. Just a rule of thumb, that’s all. I had no intentions of installing 7; I wasn’t having any issues with 6. But I wasn’t offered and “upgrade”, 7 had been installed when I went to “update” the program. I didn’t have a say in the matter.
After running into problems, I uninstalled 7 completely, even going into the registry and deleting all leftover entries. I always keep older versions of programs so I went back and installed 6 again. No problems until I did an update. Low and behold, 7 was back. I give up!!!
