I hope someone from AVAST will listen to this post and offer instant help!
Just downloaded Avast on my work laptop was curious to check if i have any malware or virus…did quick scan result OK. Did system scan it was fine…no malwares of virus
So, i just tought why leave bootscan and then S**T happened! My system seem to be stuick in the endless loop of Avast finding Resgitry error and unable to proceed and everytime I try loading windows boot scan runs!
Tried all options to start in Last Known Config, Safe Mode, Safe mode with dos prompt and netwoirking nothing works…
I am afraid I may have to reinstall windows but…I do not have that much time and cant afford to loos some of the data lying on my desktop on C:\ rest all the data is on D:\
What exactly does it mean “registry error”?
Can you attach the file C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\aswBoot.log? (the path is valid for Vista and higher)
So if you interrupt the boot-time scan (using the Escape key), the system boots normally?
I am unable to stop the scan using Escape key i have tried it several times.
The scan starts normally with several “.” appearing probably to show the progeress of the scan on the 4th line of "."s I get a message “Registry Error” and nothing happens after that the scan stops with no further details…
Everything was normal untill I had installed this software few hours back…God! Only if had not installed avast!
