avast! Error: 42040 & More

My avast! has been working until yesterday :cry:

Ok so, when I start up avast! I get a message.

UNKNOWN ERROR.
Program cannot load iNews (J:/Program Files/Alwil Software/Avast4/DATA/iNews.htm)

I can’t find iNews.htm on my comp. so I need to know where I can get it.

After that I get another message.

VPS file was destroyed.
The scan completed with error:
42040 = VPS file was destroyed.

Can anyone resolve my problem?

Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.

Or do a manual VPS update, right click the avast ‘a’ icon, select Updating, iAVS Update.

When I click on change/remove it shows me this message.

setiface error: 2
reinstall or contact support

I suggest an installation from the scratch:

  1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
  2. Boot.
  3. Download the latest version of Avast Uninstall and use it for complete uninstallation.
  4. Boot.
  5. Install again the latest avast! version.
  6. Boot.
  7. Check and post the results.
