I know this post is a couple of months old but when this was happening to me I ended up uninstalling and switching to AVG (which has been bought by Avast). They are now eerily similar. It worked for a while then started doing the exact same thing after a week or two. So I switched again back to Avast. It appears to be running now and not locking up my computer when I try to open the interface.
I don’t know if I have a virus or Avast and AVG have become the virus. They have been nothing but problems. I can’t register, I can’t update, takes multiple times to have a change take effect, says my license will expire because I can’t register, virus scans fail, updates fail with step 1 at 100% (stuck on prod-pgm.vpx?), …
Time to reinstall again?
