Problems with Avast Upgrade

I am running Vista Home Premium and 2-3 weeks ago I upgraded my Avast and had no end of problems. Could not boot up even in SAFE mode. A friend was finally able to help me but said that the problem was Avast with Vista and that I should wait a while before doing the upgrade to give Avast time for fix the problem. he said the problem was widespread. I am not a sophisticated user and would like to to if it’s okay to do the upgrade now? Thanks.
