I am having a simular problem. Recently gotten Sheild Firewall program but forgotten I had already installed Avast4 home edition. I try playing a video and also trying to download some things off a cd but get a dialog box: C:\program files\alwil software\avast4\aswmonvd.dll. An installable virtual device driver failed dll initalization. chosse ‘close’ to terminate the application.
I tried deleting the avast and sent it to the recyle bin then deleted it from there. but it still doesn’t work. Is there an easy way to tell me to get this problem fixed?
I no longer wish to use the avast.
