I wonder if this will do the trick prior to performing a WIN 7 system restore?
In the Avast GUI Troubleshooting section:
- uncheck Enable rootkit scanning at system startup.
- uncheck Enable Avast! self-defense module.
- checkmark Load Avast services only after loading other system services.
I am learning toward Enable Avast! self-defense module as the culprit.
