Internet Explorer start page isn’t it - I dont see it in first line of HjT log
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = about:blank
or is that because you are run the default page - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896
if not , then you could set this default as Start page (Internet Options - General tab - Home Page)
Or do you run a distinct proxy
I also see the following lines
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =
Mainly because you have to run Internet Explorer regardless, and sometimes its IE settings that are not configured best and this may be causing stoppage - and that perhaps Avastsvc cannot pass
I am not a pro at computers, just a hobbyist but I will try to interpret your post.
I will say this- all of my computers are configured the same and if I were to bring up MSIE on any of them, it would come up to a blank page and I don’t have problems with avast!.
This is very frustrating.
Some day when it becomes necessary to reformat, I’ll give avast! a try on this computer.
I am a great proponent of avast! and here, I couldn’t even use it on my main computer. SO this morning, I uninstalled MSE, cleaned the registry and reinstalled avast!, set up the options, changed the sounds and it appears to be working perfectly!
Problem is, I have done this before only to have it fail.
I ran a scan–no problem. I right clicked a scanned an .exe file in Widows Explorer (I actually use PowerDesk) all was fine.
If it continues to be good, I’ll insert my PRO license.
