Avast Log Viewer Entries

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

I have found the following two entries in my Avast Log and would like to know what they refer to and any action I should take to rectify the problem(s). My Avast 4.7 Home Edition appears to be working ok today in fact I have been unaware of any problems prior to finding these two entries.

I have Windows XP Home SP2 installed and fully patched also having run Avast and various AS software no malware has been detected. Thank you. EastYorkie

Searching the board for 0000001E will help?
My guess is that this is not relevant, just verbose of the logs.

Thanks Tech, I did do a search but could not find any posts that gave me an answer as to why these entries appeared on my log view. As far as I am aware there was no problem yesterday with Avast running anything but normal and there were no pop ups to indicate otherwise. Maybe they are just verbose but as I have never come across either of them before I was somewhat perturbed.

Verbose does not produce popups, thanks God.

I can guess:

This file is in use ant the online scanning (access protection) cannot scan the file. Do not mean that it is infected.

The same as the same error number is shown…
