:'(Please help me!
My avast scanner doesnt work. when I start the scanning process it says it works but in the report I always read " the process cant …the file because the file works with another process". The last sanning process is dated on june2005, but I just scanned last week. also my computer works very slow when I start avast.
windows 2000
VPS: 0529-1
I have no other anti-virus program running
What can I do?
Thank you for support

What is the exact error you are getting?
Anything in Avast’s log file that ain’t correct?

Simple User Interface:
C:\WINNT\system 32\Perflib_Perfdata_1f0.dat
C:\WINNT\Temp\2LTO2ae0.TMP

Driver file copied: C:\WINNT\System32\drivers\asw.Rdr.sys
Service avast! Web scanner started,
errcode: 0x00000420

Ican`t scan
my browser is mozilla firefox, is this browser compatible with avast?

Firefox and avast! are working fine together for me.

The date last scanned relates to full local disk scans and not partial scans. If you have done a full scan since then, try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, avast! Anti-Virus, Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow. You need to be on-line to do this.
If that doesn’t work try, uninstall, reboot, install, reboot.

hello DavidR
thank you for your message.
my english is very bad, so I didn´t understand what you mean with “add remove program”. On which button can I find “repair”?
Is it the a-button at the task-symbols? And what do you mean with “change/remove button”? How can i do this? could you describe it in simply words for me? Thank you very much!

What David ment is this:

start > control panel > programs > add/remove > Avast > change/repair

You will need to scroll down once the windows is displayed as Repair is at the bottom.
