I have Avast Pro version 11.1.2245. Definitions are up to date. Since I did a clean install of Windows 10, I have noted that from time to time, the Avast service stops for no reason. Any ideas? Note I have Malware Bytes Pro 2.2.0.1024 running also. These ran together with no problems at all for 3 years on Windows 7.
Found this in event logs:
Activation context generation failed for “C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\Setup\f626ab8e-bda0-48a9-8952-85ccb1ebf6c7.dll”. Dependent Assembly Avast.VC110.DebugCRT,processorArchitecture=“x86”,publicKeyToken=“2036b14a11e83e4a”,type=“win32”,version=“11.0.60610.1” could not be found.
