I have an XP Pro system, joined to a domain at work.
Recently, I bought the SBS server edition of avast and installed it on the SBS server.
On my XP Pro system, I had a free copy of avast Pro.
Then, I downloaded ADNM and pushed the network client of avast onto my XP Pro machine.
After I rebooted and started Outlook, I started getting the following message:
The Add-in “avast! 4” (C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashOutXt.dll) cannot be loaded an has been disabled by Outlook. Please contact the Add-in manufacturer for an update. If no update is available, please uninstall the Add-in.
I hit the OK button and Outlook continues loading and I get an alwil splash screen with the following text on it “ms outlook/exchange add-in”, it then dissapears.
If I go to the Outlook Tools menu then Trust Center… Add-ins, I can’t see any disabled add-in for alwil or avast. I can’t even see any avast add-in active.
However, if I switch the view to manage Exchange extensions, I see two avast entries with check boxes.
To stop this error from occuring everytime I restarted Outlook, I had to untick the first avast entry check box in Exchange extensions.
Is there a way to control this setting or prevent the duplication from occuring for others on my network who have avast Pro, when I push the network client onto their machines?
