    Avast Free is not loading on bootup in Windows 7

    I have done a recent upgradation of the operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 7. The situation that I am facing in my system after doing the upgradation is that Avast Free is not loading on bootup in Windows 7. This antivirus was working without any issues in the previous operating system. It is after upgradation, that the issue has started. I need some help to get rid of this issue, so kindly reply as soon as possible.

    The version of Avast Free

    If Avast Free is not loading on bootup in Windows 7, then it is possible that this problem is being caused because of some sort of incompatibility issue between the antivirus software and the operating system. So, you will have to check out for the version of Avast Free, that you are using in your system. I mean to say that if it is compatible or not with the operating system. If you run the hardware and software evaluation tool, then you can get to know about the same.

    The latest version

    It has to be noted that the latest version of all the applications, programs and softwares are seen to work without any problems in the Windows 7 operating system. So, the problem of Avast Free is not loading on bootup in Windows 7 may be encountered because the version of Avast, that you may have installed is an older one. So, a newer version may help you to solve the issue.

    Check up the startup services of the antivirus

    You must check up the startup services of the antivirus, if the issue of Avast Free is not loading on bootup in Windows 7 is being caused continuously. You will have to type "msconfig" in the search box, that is available when you click on start. There a tab called "startup" is available. If the services of the antivirus are not checked in there, then you will have to enable the same to get rid of the problem.
