So what your saying is Avast stops the installation at "Making System Restore Point"? Do you have System Restore turned on? Do you have enough free space? What is your current OS? Have you tried removing your current restore points? Can you manually make a System Restore point?

 

You might want to try the Avast! Cleanup Tool created by Rejzor and linked to in the first post of this thread on the Avast! forum.

I have used this tool a handful of times. It is very simple and does a very effective job of cleaning all remnants of a prior Avast! installation. I really have no idea of whether or not this will help with your problem but it is worth a try.

 

I have had a similar situation with AIS this week...5-6 attempts to install but freezes when I restart. Have used AIS several years but something is going on...figured it was just my pc but I can install and run about anything else. I will look into it further.....

 

Similar situation here, as I posted on the Avast forum. I upgraded via the Update tab on my Avast Pro, and the update was flawless. At the end the instruction is to reboot so I did. The bootup went good until after the Welcome screen and then the usual black screen appeared with the white pointer and after about 50 seconds, the little power light on the computer started to flutter and then faded away while the black screen remained. It became obvious the computer wasn't going to boot so I did a hard shut down. I reverted to an earlier snapshot on my Rollback Rx to the earlier version of Avast and it was good again. I tried the above twice more, but the new version will not boot. There are similar failures from some folks including freezes and errors so I guess I'll have to stay with ver. 7.0.1466 until they release a fix.

 

We both have Win7, MBAM-Pro although I removed MBAM...no change.

 

Yeah, MBAM not the cause. It's the upgrade itself.

 

I uninstalled MBAM-Pro and problem gone. However I have never had a problem with AIS until this upgrade.
