Avast free at boot

Hello I’m using the Avast free proggram.
But after each computer start I have to start the program by hand.
Is’nt there a methode to start the program at the end of the bootsequence and let is run in the background?
My OS is Windows 7
Best regards Piet.

  • Which version…??
  • OS…?? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP…?)
  • Other security related software installed…??
  • Which AV did you use before avast!..??

7.0.1474
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits SP1
Windows security Essentials
Free AVG

Before we start, you’ve to uninstall MSE…!!!

Then, be sure to get rid of all remnants of your prior installed AVs.

Now do the following:

  1. Download avast! Free Antivirus: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe
  2. Follow instructions: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed avast! versions…!!)
  3. Reinstall avast! with the downloaded installer from point 1.
  4. Reboot.

Did the trick, thanks

You’re welcome.
