0xc0000005 error on all my programs after I did a system restore.

Viruses and worms

I performed a system restore on Sunday morning to fix a certain issue I’ve been having with Internet explorer. After the restore was done, a pop-up box says that my Avast anti-virus came into conflict with the system restore. Making the system restore process incomplete. henceforth, I get the 0xc0000005 access violation error on all my programs including every browser. Which means I can’t get online.

So basically, the system restore I performed pretty much damaged the OS on my Dell 6500 thanks to Avast anti-virus.

I’m online now using my other older laptop that I’m using to type this thread. My main goal is to figure out a way to uninstall Avast and to make my browsers load so I can get online in my other laptop. I tried the control panel, I tried safe mode, I tried clean boot. I even tried another system restore to a different point. I then tried undo system restore. All of which failed. I can’t uninstall this software.

NOTE: I used my enabled administrator account, just to let you all know.

Please help me out here. I’m desperate.

Run the uninstall tool and install a fresh copy of avast.
That could solve it.

Like I said, I can’t go online because the browsers won’t launch due to the 0xc0000005 errors. How am I supposed to download that tool when I can’t have access to that page to begin with?

Did you try safe mode with networking…?

System restore may corrupte avast install if you dont turn off self protection first…

Since you are online here, i guess you have another computer? Download tool, put it on a USB stick and move it over

Download the tool, put it on a usb stick and use it on the other system.

It’s funny you mentioned that, because I did exactly just that yesterday night. And that didn’t work either. I still got that error.

Delete the latest installed Windows updates and install them again.

Just did that now. Unfortunately, no such luck. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Nobody has a clue on how to solve my mess with Avast? Well, I guess that’s it, isn’t it???

We’re all stumped here.
