I've given up with acronis. I used the backup option but it didn't work. I lost a lot of work to that pile of pants.

There's a reason why it's called Avast. As in "Avast ye matey I am about to destroy your registry".

Didn't stop mine. Restarted fine and has been solid all day.

You should report it to Avast.

Avast update broke my computer

Just a caveat for you peeps. Avast! update today stopped my Win7 64-bit from booting. Uninstall in safe mode restored normality.

One less customer for Avast.
