Hi,
I am using avast on windows XP but since yesterday the avast update is not working and its 3 functions are also disabled automatically. If i enable it then it asks for updating but there is error in updating.
However my internat is running in safe mote with network connection.

While installing the new update from setup file i am getting an error message
" The procedure entry point GetlogicalProcessorInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"
Please help!!!
