Avast! Error 80046300 - AAVMCheckFile Failure?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I keep getting this error message whenever I am sending an email (with or without an attachment). It just started occurring today and I haven’t installed any new software recently.

Cannot Scan Message Attachment
Avast error 80046300
AAVM Subsystem Not Properly Initialized
AAVMCheckFile Failed

I have Avast version 6.0.1000

Any ideas??

Can you try to repair your installation?
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast! antivirus > Remove. Then choose Repair function in the popup window (Repair).
If this does not help, can you uninstall / boot / install / boot again?

I used the Repair function and that seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks!!
