Thank you, Technical,
I tried your suggestion of replacing “Database=ODBC” with “Database=XML” in avast4 Configuration Settings (Windows XP) and the error messages have stopped. Avast seems to be working just fine now.
Thanks again,

Since it seems to have worked for this poster I would like to do the same thing. Now if someone can just tell me how to find the Avast configuration files I’ll go ahead and try it.

I take it the Avast configuration files are located somewhere within Avast itself.
