Avast 4.8 Pro boot scan

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

For some reason when I try to do a boot scan, and restart, the screen comes up when its restarting and says avworkinitialize error: 42003. I tried searching for what that was but have only found topics of it years ago lol… I’ve tried avast home, pro, and both to the same result, even tried reinstalling after uninstalling. Nothing. Anyone know what the problem is?

Which is your operational system?
Did you add the registration key of avast (Home, free)?

Oh sorry, I could have sworn I said it, my operating system is xp professional. I was using the demo

5

After 60 days, the Demo fails to load, update… you need to register: Home version for free or buy the Professional.

Well I mean I used both home and pro as soon as I installed… 60 days havn’t passed, theres no reason for anything to have expired. Plus doesnt 42003 mean somethings wrong with the download?

“42003 AVAST_UNWANTEDEXCEPTION Exception found in code”

Although mine said avworkinitialize error 42003 internal program or something

I should explain more what happened I guess.

  1. I downloaded Home, tried a boot scan, I got that error, so I un-installed.
  2. I re-downloaded Home and tried again, same error. Un-installed.
  3. I downloaded Pro, tried and got the same error. This time I didn’t uninstall.
  4. I did a normal scan, and it scanned.

So yea Idk why it wont boot scan. Or really what the error means.

Please attach the \Data\Log\aswBoot.log file… maybe it’ll show some more info.

There we go, thats the boot file.

Bump :stuck_out_tongue:

Well… second installation drops the trial period to just 6 days indeed… I’m not sure you haven’t passed for two installations in the same computer.
I see nothing in your log but, sorry, I’m not a programmer.

For pro it still says like 50+ days left.

Bump ;D

Bump =\

Can you tell us more about the hardware configuration of your computer?
Especially - how much memory do you have?

16

uhm 80gb hard drive, 112mb of ram lol… uhm what else you want to know?

So, if you open System properties in Windows, it shows 112MB, right?

According to the log, the boot-time scanner ran out-of-memory even before it started to initialize for real. I must say it’s rather strange, as it didn’t do much up to that point (that could eat any significant amount of memory); more was to come.
What it did was initializing the registry… please check the files
Windows\System32\Config\Software
and
Windows\System32\Config\System
How big are they?

Software is 17,920 kb.
System is 3,584 kb.
