WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL NEW VERSION 5.0 OF AVASTI have used the Avast free antivirus program for 4-5 years with no problems.
Last night I downloaded & installed the new 5.0 version. First thing it did was say Infinity was malware & isolated it in the quarantine chest! It wouldn't let me restore it, either. I submitted a false positive report, but not sure it did any good.
A system restore took me back to version 4.8, but then it was totally inoperative. You can't uninstall this with Add/Remove Programs. I went to
http://www.avast.com and got an utility file to uninstall it through the safe mode.
Long story short, I got everything back to Avast version 4.8 and everything is back to normal.
I would just caution anyone using Avast to avoid the new version 5.0 for now.
