How to load at boot time?

I have to manually start Avast every time I boot, it’s really annoying. I even looked in msconfig at the startup
items and avast isn’t even listed in there. I looked in every avast option and don’t see any to indicate running at boot up.
I am running the default Avast settings too.

Running 7.01426 on Windows 7 Ultimate (x64).

what antivirus did you have before avast ?
have you removed it ?
did you run a removal tool to clear any leftover files that may conflict ?

I just had Microsoft Security Essentials but I disabled that. What can I do to get avast running on boot up?

start with uninstalling it…

then run a removal tool to clear any leftover files that may conflict

run and reboot - Uninstallers – Security Software Nr #23b http://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/

did that work ?
