Updating Avast Program -- advice on best way?
Greetings;
Been having problems with erratic startup behavior. Virus & Malware scans come up negative. Chkdsk & Scannow find nothing. Warnings in Performance Log are inconsistant.
But in the Log, at startup, I do sometimes find reference to parts of my Avast program (like, event-102, aswSnx driver not loading properly). As I'm still running v.8.0.1489 I figure it is time to update.
So, questions about updating Avast program:
1) Should I just click the "Update Program" button within my existing version and go from there? (But I'm not sure if this will still give me the full "custom" option -- so I can opt out of Chrome, etc., etc..
2) Or is it better to do a fresh install? If so, should I uninstall my present version first? -- How best?
I'd just as soon not consider a different AV program at this time.
Thanks much for any advice from those who've done this recently.
