Hi there,
I am also experiencing the same problem as Oriphin. info below. The only difference is I am running McAfee personal. I started with problem after re entering a new key.
I have tried all that you have suggested, and also added the required application entries, (from another post ;D) but cannot find avast.exe. I have looked in the setup folder of avast 4 and it is not there. Is this why it is not working?
Have tried avast simple.exe etc. Interestingly though I can get the program to start in safe mode
Oriphin’s problem
i recently installed avast 4.6.619 home edition to my windows xp sp2 system. I am also running zone alarm Pro version:5.5.094.000.
Now the probolem i am having is that when i try to start ashAvast.exe the process runs but the program dose not come up. i have tried reinstalling several times with the same probolem the real time shelds are all running flawlessly.
Hope u can help. Have tried tech support but still could not get it working.
Hope u can help as I don’t want to have to use another anti virus as Avast is real good
cheers
