No restore points done in the last 2 months. I had my HD replaced and did a full install back then. Everything has been working fine until this update. Using my desktop now, laptop is still in SAFE MODE.
Uninstalling AVAST, Spybot S&D, Online Armor.
Will reinstall in same order in safe mode and see what happens.
avast crashed my PC as well after the upgrade 2 days ago i had a brain fart and couldn’t do a system restore, fresh install now. I’m a bit worried about installing this again. avast has served me well for years. I’m not slamming on them or anything. i would avoid the upgrade that came out this week until this issue can be further investigated. BTW i had the same issues as the original poster. this was on a g73 asus.
