I’ve gone and notified an avast! team member of your issue. Whether or not he, or someone else, joins this thread is entirely up to them.

Since you have seen System Restore throw anomalous results on reboot at least one time, maybe it is time to consider another tool to restore your system back to working order? Specifically, the use of any disk imaging program, run as incremental updates once a day, would work, and would not throw avast! into a disabled state/new version on reboot. Plus you would know your system was clean after restoring a known clean image.

Something to consider. :slight_smile:

[EDIT:] Fixed typo.
