Found out (after a long, long time and fiddling …) that Avast avoided my computer to start through …
Could not uninstall it: got an error that the windows-installer ‘was not working’ …
Only in save mode I was able to uninstall Avast and after that some other programs.
Would really like to re-install (cause I already caught my first Adware …), but not sure if I should …
Anyway: How to avoid the same situation, after re-install?
@eddy: Well … maybe I could have been clearer, although it seems obvious to me that I was actually asking: How to check, after this problematic startup, what was/ is going on?
Anyway: Reinstalled, but still the same: System start-up takes around 30+ minutes, browser start around 10, excluding interface build-up, which takes another 5 minutes, etc etc.
Now I must admit I did not use ‘avastclear.exe’ before, just a regular uninstall (via Save Mode).
So I did now, and going to reinstall again, see if that makes any difference.
Will get back to you asap (…).
