Long time Avast user. I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I saw Avast was automatically deleted after I did that. I thought nothing of it so I redownloaded and installed it. I then started to have intermittent crashes for no reason. It would just freeze up and reboot. I thought it may have been a PSU issue, but the PSU is a high quality PSU and relatively new and the crashes only happened after I went to 8.1. Then I stumbled upon the situation regarding Avast potentially causing crashes.
Is there any ETA on when it will be fully compatible with 8.1? I uninstalled it totally for now to see if that will help. I feel so naked without it:)
There are always some reports from that many users but avast! 2014 (currently 9.0.2007) is fully compatible with Windows 8.1 with no major issue I am aware of. There are only some issues during update to Windows 8.1 which should be resolved shortly.

Hi
I up grade W8 to W8.1 and avast internet security (8 version license for 3 years ) does’nt run any more…
To up grade to version 9 I load the full version because it was impossible to up grade from version 8 avast up grade does’nt seen Avast 8 version on my PC in W8.1 …
But now with the avast 9 and my license internet security I try to use safe zone … It open a view but all actions in this crash each time the pc witch reboot automatictly without any crash report. If I try an opération on my Banking net (BelfiusNet) no advertissing for safe zone used…
What is the solution to used safe zone in this new version 9 ???
Best regards

FBO, maybe the better will be an installation from scratch:
- Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
- Download the latest avast! version and save it.
- (Optional) If you want, save your avast! settings for later restoration (Settings > Maintenance > Back up).
- Uninstall avast! from Control Panel (if possible) and reboot.
- Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1 in and follow the instructions. Reboot Windows in Safe Mode, uninstall avast! and then reboot in Normal Mode again.
- Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Register your free copy or add the license key for the paid versions. Boot.
- Check and post the results.
Please, be patient, boot when it’s said to boot…
Latest 9.0.2008 version seems to have addressed some issues.
