I concur with Culpeper. Apparently, during the download, a dll file did not transfer correctly, or was corrupted. Therefore, the dependent function ashavast.exe cannot execute.
A manual download usually corrects this. Make sure that all othe windows based applications are shut down during the download (which also installs the new files).
Should this not correct the problem, post and one of the members will get back to you.
I am having the same problem after updating the virus database. I rebooted with a message with “error starting program. ASWENGIN.DILL linked to missing export ASWCMNOS.DLL:dep_fsRemoveFolder.” It automatically updated itself on Dec 19, 03. I am running Windows 98SE, 48ram, 150mhz, dial-up with 28k modem. And I also need help in solving this problem.
BTW diane1jp, you seem to be specifically vulnerable to these updatter issues. I wonder what’s so special about your computer… ??? Don’t you use e.g. a security software (a firewall maybe) that could be preventing the updater from overwriting avast’s files?
Yes. I solved the problem, I had another problem with the avast program about a month ago. I thought I would give it another shot at it, by going to the Control Panel to add/remove programs clicking on Avast Antivirus then go to repair, I had to be online to do this repair, when done, I rebooted and everything is working like it should be. I did allow Avast Antivirus through my ZoneAlarm.
