Just for information:
Today I installed one of my Windows 2000-PC's with the new program version from scratch - without problems!
The system is running fine and stable.
THANK YOU!!! :D

count me as another with a drastically slowed PC after the latest upgrade to 7.0.1426.  Looks like there is no real solution.  Thanks for keeping my PC safe for the past severals years.  No time to muck around, uninstalled and installed Avira instead, so far so good.

much the  same here, avast7 not fit for purpose on my x64 win7 machine --- might return when 1426 gets replaced whenever that might be  :'(

Useless post really, what version of Avast, what else are you running on the machine?  Avast7 is running on Win7 64Bit on 2 machines here and both are definitely booting/shuttng down and unning faster than with Avast6 and I have installed avast7 on other Win7 machines without a problem.

One thing you can try, during the betas I found speed issues with explorer and apps opening. It turned out that the Windows Firewall was causing issues. Turn that off or reset the firewall to defaults and the issue cleared. This has worked for a few people here.

OK trying that again with reset of windows firewall --- see if this is 6th time lucky  8) --- might all work now  :-X

Program update 7.0.1426

Still shaking...please excuse me.

1.) WINXP SP3  32bit  3G SDRAM
2.) Zone Alarm (Free) firewall 6.1.744.001
3.) Mozilla Firefox ESR 10.0.3
4.) Google Notifier 1.0.25.0

Just tried to update within program (Avast 6.x).  Installation appeared to go smoothly, restarted computer.  At desktop once again...then went to launch Mozilla Firefox ESR 10.0.3.  As it was launching, a notice box from Avast came up over systemtray, I had time only to catch words "serious problem" and BAM!  BSOD!  I hadn't had one of these in years.  Did a manual reboot of machine, decided to try my limited user account just to see what I could determine from there.  Clicked, started to load...bam!  Back to boot screen.  This kind of behavior is so absolutely rare that I'm not ashamed to admit I'm flustered for sure.  I came back in under Safe mode and UNINSTALLED Avast 7.0.1426.  I'm guessing that it has something to do with (AUTO) Sandbox feature because I noticed a new folder on my root dir "Avast Sandbox" which contains a Windows prefetch file for the Firefox executable.   Bottom line:  I'm scared to try again.  Is there no way for the time being to revert to the last Avast 6.x version until the smoke clears.  I was running Avast 6.x with impunity!  ??    Today I sweat.

***EDIT:   Solution (apparently?).  As I mentioned I performed uninstall of unsuccessful version 7.x INSTALL.   Then since I had backup of version 5.x., I did clean install of version 5.x.  I would have stopped here but from within version 5.x I was told a higher version of 5.x was available so I thought...what the heck!  But when I updated I got version 7.0.1426 instead.  Anyway, so far so good!  I did change autosandbox to "ASK" and when I calm down, maybe I'll remove FIREFOX.EXE from Sandbox exclusion.  That is all.  Running 7.0.1426...nervously.   :-\   - Brad***

Useless post really

I should think that this would be of concern to avast to learn that users/subsribers who'd been in the avast camp for years are bolting to other products/competitors.

The post as it stood told no one anything of use, to be able to give help Avast staff and members here need to know exactly what is being used, which OS. which Avast version, what else is on the system.
How was the new version installed, fresh install or upgrade. Saying it doesn't work I'm leaving is pointless.

And given that the numbers of sales and installs are rapidly increasing  I don't think there are too many "bolting " anywhere.

You are certainly going to have to give a lot more information, such as what has already been asked and where you downloaded this from as I have just downloaded it from the avast link http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_pro_antivirus_setup.exe and no alert whatsoever.
