[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 976497, member: 53544"] I know the feeling. I did this a couple of times when I was a kid really. First three times were out of ignorance. The fourth, I had learned not to stack antiviruses, but this time I was trying to change from Avast to ESET, and I figured that in order to "not be unprotected for a single minute", I'd first install ESET, and only then uninstall Avast. Sadly, ESET's installation never finished, at the middle of it, my PC died and had to take it to the technician since it wouldn't boot again. [/QUOTE]
