Hey everyone, I’m having issues with Avast not being able to turn on. It’ll load up, but won’t actively scan, nor will it do manual scans.
If I try to scan, “Unable to start scan. There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper”
If I try to start the shield, “Unable to start the File System Shield! Shield unreachable.”
I just ran Malwarebytes, got rid of a handful of threats.
Then I ran SuperAntispyware, got rid of a handful of ‘threats’ (seemed to be just cookies)
Windows defender came up with nothing.
Firewalls are on.
Further issues, (Seem as they are virus/malware related) Random files are ‘corrupt,’ I believe this has only happened when installing files. Recently, some of my drivers seemed to go missing/unconfigured, I have fixed most of those. My keyboard and trackpad become unresponsive… (don’t know if this is related)
Okay, I got Avast running… just reinstalled it. Full scan going now.
I did get notification that SuperAntiSpyware/somethingsomething is corrupt.
The same message I got when installing SC2 earlier, along with some patches for it. Doesn’t seem like a coincidence that these files are coming up as corrupt. Oh and chkdsk /f won’t work to fix the corrupt issues.
Will post results of scan later. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Avast found 3 corrupt files on my HDD, no malware beyond what was already found by the other two AV tool. Things seem to be normal (aside from my hard drive failing.)
Just a random, kinda related question… Does avast affect Gmail’s loading process? I can only get the html version now…
If you feel that your issue is now resolved/fixed, please go back to the open post in this topic, click the modify button in that Post and change the title/subject, add [Resolved] to the beginning of the title so this thread can be closed. Thank you.
