Hello!
In the past three weeks my computer freezes most times on startup.
I have this behavior on Windows XP, both x86- (SP3) and x64-(SP2)editions, with all patches offered by WU applied.
When I deactivate Avasts service the system starts normally, when I start the Avast service later manually it works without any problems or freezes.
I have read here that there is a patch as there is known problem with freezes on system-startup. I applied it but it did not help.
I futher tried to uninstall the network-scanning component which did not help either.
I have scanned both systems with other AV-Scanners booted from a clean CD. There is no virusproblem.
Unfortunately I can not provide any memorydump or something like that as I can not start any programmes when the system freezes.
Is there any help? Can I provide further useful information to assist you in helping me?
Thanks!
