I have a problem similar to http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=96992.0 but on a Vista PC.
GUI said that my avast is “not secured”, even as the antivirus engine works :
- services “avast! Antivirus” is started
- webshield detect malware (using https://support.avast.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=1301&nav=0,2#idt_01)
- sometime autosandbox pops up
GUI seems to have trouble with my preferences :
- It said I’m registered until 05/04/2013, but that I have 0 day left ;
- Adding a file to AutoSandbox exclusion list seems to work (GUI said it is done), but
[li]I’m not able to see that file in the exclusion list, - the added file DOES trigger AutoSandbox popup ;
[/li] - AutoSandbox popup :
[li]run in the Sandbox (or not) as told, - don’t remember my choice (even when told to).
[/li]
I’ve done a total reinstallation (as https://support.avast.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=1049&nav=0,2).
But doing so, I lost the “AutoSandbox mode = ask” option. And I had to reinstall/repair and reboot again and agian until I can set it back.
I’m used to install avast in a specific directory (which works fine on an other Vista PC).
I have no idea where avastscript*.log might be on a PC.
