I know I should probably put this in the computer section, but folks usually only go there once they have a problem. Hopefully this information may prevent it.
The other day I updated my Avast free Anti-Virus, and my Windows went haywire. I had trouble even booting up, and many windows functions refused to work.
I found this site (http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/thread/E2F066B3-2517-41BC-8FAD-4C036F2F4AC8), and downloaded the Avast removal tool. I could not get my control panel to work, when I attempted to uninstall Avast. I booted up in safe mode then used the removal tool, and all is now well. There is also advice on other free anti-virus tools to download.
Avast refuse to acknowledge that this issue exists, but believe me, it does.
