hi tech, thanx, im at wit-ends now, i cant find this annoying file, i tried scanning it again, i tried moving it to the avast moved folder, so that i can put it in the chest, but unfortunately the result only says an error has occured during the processing of 1 result(S)! .shall i delete the file permanently or juz in the recycle bin?
or, uninstall avast and install again?

heres the file i really cant find, C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4;;{E211B736-43FD-11D1-9EFB-0000F8757FCD}devid:{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\0000:

hello again nourine, thank u, i did what u said and this is what i found.

the file cannot be opened because you put the path of the file in the internet explorer, you should paste in the windows explorer

to find this file you should “show hidden files” and " hidden files of the system"

hi guys, thanx for all the help, i really appreciate it. with regards to the link that maxx_original gave me a few hrs ago, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=29806.0, i check this out and i found somethin interesting what aidendale(a newbie too) said that she found the file in her Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000 folder.
since i also have a Logitech Quickcam communicate stx, i made a wild guess this thing may also cause the prob i got, so what i did, before i scan again, i unmark the Logitech Quickcam communicate stx so that it can be excluded while avast is scanning, and fortunately after the scan, i ddnt got any scan results like the 1 i mentioned before. question is, will i keep it that way? exclude Logitech Quickcam during scanning?

Nourine, I apreciate your willingness to help, but I’m sorry to say that in this paricular case your recommendations are rather confusing.
The problem is indeed related to the Logitech “folder” (it’s not really a folder, in the filesystem sense of word).

Anie, all you need to do to prevent the problem from occuring is not have the Logitech folder checked, thats it.

Thanks
Vlk

it cannot be seen,but can be scanned this way :

the filesystem belongs to Avast itself, if you want to scan it successfully.
right click on the icone of Avast, click “Stop On-Access Protection”.
Open “Desktop” in the address bar, Copy and Paste this : C:\Program Files\Alwil Software then press Ok
you’ll find a file named " Avast4" right click on it then “scan Avast” and try to scan it.
and see if you’ll have the same error.

hi nourine, thanx, i ddnt got any error after the scan but i ddnt click the STOP ON-ACCESS PROTECTION, im afraid i leave my pc unprotected.

avastuser2611 · 2007-09-02T22:14:33.000Z

you’re welcome anie.
I noticed that avast cannot scan files or file system which are used by another processus. and since the file system that you have in your computer belongs to Avast and cannot be scanned, the Stop On-access Protection is done to be able to scann the unscanned path.
now you have to turn on the ON-access Protection to protect your computer always and in the real-time.
take care

Vista troubles with symbolic links to files are explained by Igor:

I never found a better explanation. Sorry, I’m new on Vista too.

Maxx_original · 2007-09-03T07:02:27.000Z

hah… the solution is quite simple: uncheck the cam virtual folder in select areas dialog ;)… it gives no sense to scan it and you’ll prevent these error messages…

BTW starting with the next avast update, it won’t be possible to select the WebCam folder (there’ll be no checkbox next to it) so this should prevent any further confusion.

BTW2 - it’s quite funny, I have a very similar picture of my wife (similar to your avatar) - you two seem actually quite similar to each other - same haircut etc. (if that’s really your picture on the avatar). At first, I actually thought she was making fun of me and signed up on the avast forum.

LOL

Actually, no, she’s European but given the size of the avatar, these small details aren’t too important…
Here’s a couple of pictures of her: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=5976.msg46213#msg46213
