I would need a little more information to be of assistance. Is this Windows XP you’re running and has this problem developed very recently or has this been the case for some time?
Are you using a second scanner or recently uninstalled one?
You could try using Avast’s repair feature first but if certain conditions still exist, it won’t make any difference.
Many thx for answering.
I am using 4.7 version, and Windows Me.
The problem started when I Bought a DVD rewriter and Nero and installed that. System locked ARGHHH!
It was then I noticed it, when I got up and running again. Maybe I should have turned Avast OFF eh?
Never really had any problems with any virus, Cos I also use my firewall, a web based mail server, from which I never download any mail from people I don’t know. I also have spywareguard, spybot SD, A2 scanner, plus CCleaner. (these were all installed before the crash).
Can I just do a repair on Avast! If so how?
Many thanx for your time.
