Avast Update Gremlin
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2011 12:07 pm
There is a bug in the current Avast update.
It will cause some installations to lock up with a popup notification window and on reboot all functions will be disabled.
Avast are aware and the bug will be resolved in the next definition update.
However if, like me, your system is locked out I assume you will have to uninstall, reboot and reinstall.
If for compatibility you are not running the current main program version 6.0.1203 the older versions can be found here
Unless someone posts first I'll update as I find out more.
