Whilst this relates to avast5 - Win2k and avast 5.0 see:
It may well also be required in avast6, e.g. the Update Rollup 1, but presumably if you were using avast5 (?) that would have been present. Or it would have failed validation when you tried to install if it didn’t have SP4 and Update Rollup 1.
If you have win2k, SP4 with Update Rollup 1 installed, then it may be best to try a clean reinstall:
-
Download the latest version of avast, 6.0.1000 http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again (if you didn’t save your last download). Use that when you reinstall.
-
Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, aswClear5.exe find it here and save it to your HDD (it has uninstall tools for both 5.x and 6.0.x).
-
- Now uninstall avast! (using add remove programs, if you can’t do that start from the next step), reboot.- 2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility from safe mode, first for 5.x if previously installed and then for 6.0, once complete reboot into normal mode.- 3. install the latest version, reboot.
