Since you are posting in a topic relating to program update for avast 7.0.1426, was this a program update (as you have 7.0.1407) or a virus definitions update ?

What was the error displayed ?
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

Updated program thru GUI 8 hrs ago. Initially, system was very slow on restart, and startup programs took forever to load. Appears to be functioning well at this point. Will continue to watch closely over the next couple of days.
 

Day 3 of upgrade from .1407 to .1426. Aside from a perceptible increase in boot time the only other thing I am not clear on is streaming updates. It shows connection established, and updates are being received. But it will at times show when last received, and at other times '---'. Others have pointed this out in other threads, although without a definitive explanation on why that is.

I actually think my system boots up quite a bit faster now with 1426 than it did before. I can also access my mail program almost immediately after the desktop loads which now takes less than 50 seconds.

The installer is still flawed if you add/remove features from an install.

Removed Browser Protection,Sandbox and Remote Assistance, the script runs, says it has completed the changes but no restart is offered, Windows throws and werror message "This program may not have uninstalled correctly".

Manual restart is required to force the changes requested and once retarted  yet again the WebShiled and MailShields do not report any activity.

I will join those reporting a severe performance issue with v1426. The symptoms are that everything runs about 100 times as slow, making the system appear to be locked up, nearly unresponsive to input... but if you are infinitely patient, everything will eventually happen. I've seen the exact same thing occur in the past with one of those 'other' antivirus programs. My solution so far has  been to revert to v1407.

Obviously, not everyone is experiencing this symptom. In fact, it is happening for me on only one of three computers. The other two are running V1426 with no problem. Why is this? I don't know.

Hi Pavels,
After trying to update from free Avast 6.0.1367 to 7.0  I experienced just problems.I`ve contacted your Avast support team through email and the only thing they are advising me is to try again to download aswclear.exe .By the way, they e-mail me every 3-4 days with the same instructions.I`ve tried numerous times to download it and ran it in Safe Mode.When in Safe Mode message reads :
C: \user\desktop\aswclear.exe is not a valid win32 application.
Also when in Safe Mode -Control Panel under " Uninstall/change programs "message reads :
“Avast!Setup fatal error”. Another  message says :
“Error reading data from C:\program files\avast software\avast setup. Setup cannot continue”.
When from Avast user panel I try to start real time shields it reads :
 "Unable to start ( this is for all 8 (eight) shields ) .Shield unreachable".
When in “Control panel” –“Action Center” –“Security” – “Virus Protection” – “Avast” –“ Turn On Now” –reads
“File system shield provider not found”.
When in “Task manager”  I click on avast!Anivirus (reads :Stopped)than right click to “ Start Service – reads:
“The operation could not be completed.Access is denied”.
When in “Services”(Local) it reads :
Description : manages etc.  -  Status:(blank)  -Start up(automatic) – Log on: (Local System)
When I click on “ start the service “ it is loading than  it says :
“TheaAvast!Antivirus service on Local Computer started and than stopped.Some services stop automatically  if they are not in use by other services or programs.”
Also :
When trying to register:
"The AAVM subsystem detected a RPC error"
When new Avast 6.0 file was downloaded:
An error 0(00000000)has occured.
Last performed aperation was :spawning
I`ve also tried calling 1-877-877-9362 iYogi team .While I provided them with my e-mail address I was furious to learn that they want my phone number , full name and address and permission to access my computer remotely.Luckily they did not ask for my blood type.They are NOT  willing to guide me over the phone to uninstall your program although on your web page it says clearly that they should provide PHONE support. It has been now two weeks that my system is not protected and I am not able to uninstall it to start fresh or to upgrade it . I`m able to see my statistics under Avast User Panel -Summary-Statistics( "Click here to see your complete ststistics for the last 30 days") .Out of four computers that I have I was able to upgrade your product without any problem on three of them.I would appreciate if you could provide me with the phone number that I could call on my own expense or to guide me in detail on "How to start fresh or upgrade without getting heart attack".Thanks in advance for your prompt answer.
Details:
Avast User panel reads:Details:
Current version      UNKNOWN
Release date         UNKNOWN
Number of definitios   UNKNOWN
Version 6.0.1367
Ticket ID from your support dept.: Ticket ID: OTK-178459

C: \user\desktop\aswclear.exe is not a valid win32 application.

I had the same problem when I tried to do a fresh re-install on my wife's XP Home box, but thought I just had a bad download.  I had a copy of aswclear.exe on my machine (as I always do whenever there's a new avast release) so I just got it from my LAN.  Someone should look at that, but in the mean time, you may try the latest at http://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/ in safe mode.

This afternoon computer #2, which was working fine with v1426 yesterday, succumbed to the dreaded slowdown. I waited about two minutes for the Welcome screen to clear, then gave up. Rebooting into Safe Mode and uninstalling v1426 eliminated the problem. Then I reverted to v1407, which so far is giving me no trouble. That leaves only one out of my three computers that is able to run v1426.

Updated 5 PC (XP, Vista 32 bit, Windows 7 starter, Home Premium 32 and 64 bit) and all seems fine from 1406 but undoubtedly Avast 7 slows down the windows boot more than version 6.  :(

Same here.

10-12 secs difference here.

Here V7 added 20 seconds and 7.0.1426 added another 10 or so.

Updated from Version 6 to version 7.0.1426 via GUI 3 days ago.  No problems with update and everything working perfectly.  Very happy with new version.  My boot time is faster if anything.
Windows XP SP3 / 1GB RAM
