This is a warning for anyone that wants to try Eset Internet Security 7 Beta on Windows 8.1. I installed it this morning and thought everything went OK. When I tried to restart windows I got a message that Windows encountered an error had to restart. When the computer restarted I could not get Windows 8.1 to load. All it would do is give a message that Windows couldn't start and then it would reboot. I tried system restore and startup repair 3 or 4 times but they wouldn't work. I finally had to use system refresh to get Windows 8.1 to load again. Luckily I didn't have that much installed and it didn't mess up my Windows 8 install; so all I really lost was my time. One good thing did come out of it though. I found out that after a couple of unsuccessful starts Windows 8 will go to a screen with options for doing repairs or loading another operating system if you have one.
