Ever since I updated Avast on my laptop running Vista, the computer has been locking up frequently. I put it in safe mode and ran aswClear to remove avast and it ran fine. I reinstalled a new copy of Avast to get the latest without having any lingering older parts remaining. Seemed to go well until I open Firefox. Once it asked to install the avast web module, it locked and I had to reboot. Now I am back to trying to uninstall Avast again. Any advice?
I had this same issue (as did many others). i have seen no resolution other than reverting to the last version 7.
