Hello
Since I updated my avast free antivirus to 7.0. 1.4.7.3. my PC doesn´t want to start up anymore. It freezes right away when I log in to my PC account.
Ctlr + Alt + Del won’t work and the only thing I can do is shutting down my pc by pressing the power button for a couple of seconds. Safe mode still works.
Every week I let my pc run a full scan with Windows Defender and Avast. I don’t think it could be some kind of virus. But you never know. :S
Does anyone else have the same issue? Or does anyone knows what I could try to fix it?
Hi Julia,
I had the same problem with Avast Pro freezing at start-up. I had a beautiful screen saver of Thomas Kinkade Paintings, but they were not for W7. I also was running Trusteer Raptor.
I removed both and now all is well. I suspect you may have something in your Start programs that are causing the problems.
On my other computer with KIS 2013 I also had the problem. I removed the same programs, but also took Win Patrol and MBAM Pro out of the start with Windows option, and start them later.
I am not very competent with computers, but do suggest you examine your start-up applications, as I suspect that is where the problem lies. I might be well to delay the start of some.
