system

According to Microsoft’s Knowledge Base Article - 179365 I checked all of the keys involved and found just one more entry - ctfmon.exe ( some Alternative User Input Services ) Current state suits me well since some of my startup items ( f.e. ssh tunnels ) are not blocked at startup and connect perfectly ( this was not true before since apparently Avast was blocking the network access for some time ). Anyway I will do the test you proposed and will come back with the results. Hopefully needed restarts will not destroy my system …
As far as this may be not Avast’s fault, it is worth to find a mechanism to avoid these problems … counting on this may even not be possible under such OS …
There are probably no problems under Linux ( not just thanks to /etc/rcX.d/SXX… ) … but I’m too lazy to take care of it at home when administering tens of them at work …
