Help - "Unknown error. Program cannot set property into main Storage"

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hey guys, if you could help me with this I’d really appreciate it.

Ever since the power went out abruptly a few weeks ago, while I was on the pc, whenever I open Avast! and the Welcome Screen appears, I get this message saying that the file is already being used by another process and that “Program cannot set property into main Storage”. I’m referred to the FAQ but they say the steps there are not to be followed by those with Avast! 4.7, which is my case, my program is up-to-date.

Any tips on how to fix this? Does it affect the program? Thanks in advance

Is this the same issue as discussed by leomalev here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=21429.msg179203#msg179203 ?
I.e. do you see the same entries in your error.log file?

Yeah, since version 4.7.807 a new data storage called SQLT is used by avast! and shouldn’t have any storage problems…

Did you try to repair your installation? Or reinstall avast?

I’m sorry I posted another topic about the same error, I skimmed through the posts but I missed it.

I tried to repair the installation but it didn’t work, so I decided to save time and install Avast again - problem fixed. :slight_smile:

Thanks for your time and help! :slight_smile:
