I installed AVAST version 10.4 on my WinXP backup partition. Everything worked okay for a few days but is it my wild imagination or did changes to AVAST settings affect my XP system such that it now dumps the registry when powering down?
I went back to my live XP partition and installed AVAST there. All was well for a few days but after some fiddling with AVAST settings, the same thing happened.
Can anyone comment if they have had the same experience?
Apart from this, AVAST 10 is working well and exceeding my expectations. Thank you to those who helped with advice.
