Spoke too soon, error came back!

[s]I suggest an installation from scratch:

  1. Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
  2. Download the latest avast! version and save it.
  3. Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
  4. Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1. If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after you’ve run it.
  5. Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
  6. Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro. Or even upgrade your key from old versions.
  7. Check and post the results. If, for any reason, you did not solve, try doing the step 3 in Safe Mode anyway.[/s]

Follow pk’s instructions first.

@luckyvic, don’t uninstall the product - i’d like to find out why you get this error…

  1. run cmd.exe (Command Prompt) as admin, type “fltmc load aswsnx” – does it work? did you get an error?
  2. send me setup.log from \program files\avast software\avast\setup folder (kurtin@avast.com)
    Thanks

Ah, already did a clean reinstall. Rebooted and error gone (hopefully for good). Sorry.

Sorry pk. Seems I’ve induced the user to drop down your dump file… :cry:

PK - I have same problem - I have an XP Pro SP3 machine and Avast Home Free 8.

In cmd, if I try your fltmc load aswsnx, I get the following error message:
Load failed with error: 0x80070057
The parameter is incorrect

I will email you my setup log .

Thanks.
