How can I verify if the anti-rootkit module works?
Do you have Home or Pro (trial) version?
Home edition.
XP: Windows Start > Run
“C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe” “SUPERQUICK”
Vista: Windows Start > write “cmd” without quotes > click CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
Anwswer ‘Yes’ to UAC question.
Write down (or paste):
“C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe” “SUPERQUICK”
Click Enter
Did that, the scan started and finished with no problems.
This proves that the anti-rootkit module works?
Yes the anti-rootkit module is now working on my system (FAT32 formatted drives), tested using the ashquick rootkit command.
The problem seems to be solved here too.
After the update to 080404-0 I didn’t restart the pc and so I got the error in the log viewer.
Now I restarted the pc and there’s no error regarding the ‘aswar scan function’.
Happy to report that since my last post, as promised by Vlk,
a VPS update (080404) has cured the rootkit scan at startup problem.
My troubleshooting options are now all cleared
and Avast! 4.8, Online Armor 2.1.0.119 and WinPatrol 12 are all collaborating at startup.
IE7 and OE6 are both operating correctly Sandboxed
and Avast Rootkit Scan on demand is also working.
All systems are “GO”.
Congratulations to the Alwil Staff

Hello again!
The problem occured again and now with new error function.
6.4.2008 11:47:38 SYSTEM 1532 Internal error has occurred in module aswar scan function failed!, function C0000005.
6.4.2008 14:25:08 SYSTEM 1532 Internal error has occurred in module aswar scan function failed!, function C0000005.
I think this started after yesterday VPS-updates.
Me too:
At least the error changed:
Internal error has occurred in module aswar scan function failed!, function C0000005.
IF there is a fix, please provide steps. Delay, no delay, disable, whatever. I just want this thing to go away.
a few topics have been made referring to this, hopefully someone in the know can give us some info on a fix
Same error here. But if I try the “C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe” “SUPERQUICK” command in Run, the scan works and finishes succesfully.
Discussion on the matter continues on Subject: Internal error has occurred in module aswar scan function failed!, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=34213.
Hello All,
I got this new variety of rootkit scan error yesterday.
“Internal error has occurred in module aswar scan function failed!, function C0000005”
After updating to VPS 080406 this morning, all fixed again.
This is getting to be tedious.

Hi, everyone :
So long time I wasn’t here.
First of all congrats for the version 4.8 Release, it’s working fine in my computer however I’m experiences some problems. The antivirus log error viewer is filling with errors related with my firewall (Online Armor 2.1.0.119 Free), here I send you the lines for today April 7th 2008

Also I have Superspyware Terminator but On-Demand Mode only, and I’ve checked the rootkit checker at startup
Also the Windows Log Viewer (Avast Antivirus section) is reporting the same errors, and the worst is when I perform a HDD check (both files check and surface check (Windows in-built HDD CHKDSK) because after the CHKDSK the startup freezes, so I had the following workaround :):
- Pressing Alt+Ctrl+Del keys (Task Manager)
- Stopping the explorer.exe process
- Reboot
- The start up works normally
So these are my glitches, but I hope that the developement team will find a solution to this problem, as far I can see I’m not the only who’s experience this issue ;). My HDD is a NTFS file system
I’ll post the following image

These errors are unrelated to the anti-rootkit scan errors. The windows error 5 = Access is denied, which doesn’t surprise me in the slightest given that it is related to your Firewall which is probably protecting its files. You have nothing to worry about.
The windows event viewer, anti-virus gets its information form the same source so there will be matching entries in both.
Thanks pal

Your welcome.
