Error in Event Viewer

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Since I installed the firewall ‘Online Armor’, the following errors are frequently recorded in the antivirus event viewer:-

ERROR! AAVM - scanning error: x_AavmCheckFileDirectEx: avfilesScanReal of C:\Program Files\Tall Emu\Online Armor\server.dat failed, 00000005. (event 90)

WARNING! AAVM - scanning warning: x_AavmCheckFileDirectEx [UNI]: C:\Program Files\Tall Emu\OnlineArmor\server.dat (C:\Program Files\Tall Emu\Online Armor\server.dat) returning error, 00000005. (event 90)

Is there some incompatibility between Avast and Online Armor, or is there some way of marking Online Armor as safe?

That isn’t incompatibility but what looks like online armor protecting its server.dat file, windows error 5 = Access is denied.

There is nothing to worry about, this is not unusual for security products.

Thank you David - one again you have put my mind at rest.
