Bang!
did this happen after the update or just after the installation
I have no idea but hope someone has any idea
But you can try to uninstall it and make a fresh install. Then do try to scan your machine in safe mode with Avast and then with MBAM

Please check the folder \data\log. Does it contain any files of the name unpxxxxxx.mdmp? If so, please put them to a ZIP archive and send it to my email address.

Thanks
