how do i interpret the “chest” entries?
consider the attached… three .dll system files are now found in the chest. what does this mean?
These are only the copies of your critical system files - they were made during the installation of Avast on your computer.
In case these particular files are incurably infected, you can replace them with the copies from the Avast’s Chest.
I’m sorry, newissma, but have you read the Avast’s help file? ???
How? If the user can’t login (or boot), how could he has access to this system files?
My question remains and nobody from Alwil is answering it… 
:o :o :o
Tech, are you nweissma?
No. I just used his thread to complain.
You have so many stars and can’t answer the user’s question? I simply can’t understand you. ???
What you can’t understand is the concept Tech is talking about (and not just about these system files in the chest), if you are unable to boot into your system. Outside windows the user can’t access the chest, if you sent an important system file to the chest and the result of that meant you couldn’t boot you wouldn’t be able to find, extract, decrypt and copy it to its original location.
This is due to the protection of avast chest, what Tech wants is a means of recovering files from the chest when you can’t boot into windows.
Unfortunately the Topic he chose to air his grievance isn’t directly related to this users question.
George, hope David’s explanations make my thoughts clear to you 8)
Absolutely. And I also agree with his desire not to deviate from the topic’s content. 
In case these particular files are incurably infected, you can replace them with the copies from the Avast's Chest.sorry to be such a pain...why are [i]these three [/i] files so important -- what if other system files become incurably infected? and wouldn't i have avast's vrdb backup (or is it an [i]image[/i]!)? plus, i will have my own image. btw, what is the necessity of vrdb if i have my own image? (and vista maintains its restore points" - i still can't figure out what these 46GB restore points are useful for!)
I'm sorry, [b]newissma[/b], but have you read the Avast's help file?with much chagrin, i must answer you "No." but i will get to work on it.
If you have trouble with your system, where do you go to try and find the solution, answer for most people the connect to the internet the winsock.dll and wsock32.dll are important for internet connection. The heart of your OS is the kernel so kernel32.dll is also very important.
No. I just used his thread to complain.i'm truly honored by all this!
