Serious bug:
When you use Avant it changes a key in the registry and should replace
that key. But it replaces a wrong value. Because of that Windows Update
won't work anymore, among other things.
On the forum I saw this bug is known for some weeks, and I should think
it's pretty easy to fix, but they didn't till now, it's still in it.
In the key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
\LocalServer32
a value is replaced by Avant. By closing Avant it should replace the old
value: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe\"
But it writes back: "C:\Program FilesInternet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
Inserting the slash solves the problem.

If you've installed this latest ver 10.2 build 51 has Anderson solved
the problem of two instances of Avant.exe starting up sometimes???

This can be seen in Task Manager after Avant's been running for a
while and is triggered by something, but I'm not sure what.

The problem was introduced in about v10.2.30 and all the releases
since haven't fixed it.
