Having kicked off this particular thread and as a result upgraded to 2014.9.0.2007, I was on the point of following the advice and uninstalling what I’ve got (in Safe Mode) and reinstalling (not in Safe Mode). Now in view of the uncertainty (??) over 1. which uninstaller to use**, and 2. whether what is currently on offer is bug-free, I’m undecided. Might it be a better idea to discipline myself to check and if necessary “resolve all” each time I boot up, and only make any changes once the dust has settled, the bugs are gone and the air is clear?
Otherwise I’m all set up with the downloads and ready to go!
I’ve just checked: Avast Free does figure in Control Panel Add / Remove Progs. Is there any reason to use / not use the unstaller download instead of the Control Panel? Might save the slight hassle with Safe Mode?
