Tenko you need to google, why i should not have two av’s on my system at the same time, i think your very lucky that nothing has gone wrong yet!!!

post the mbam-log-2010-12-02 (16-17-36).txt log here

24

Now that your MBAM scan is good you need to run the avast scan again to see if it still flags the same thing, and if you have a printer there make sure that your computer can still turn it on as that file- printer spooler is what connects your system to the printer.

[to craigb]

I have avast’s realtime protection components uninstalled and only the AV engine on.

26

??? That is the log

Full scan completed, all clear …

I’ll run An avast scan & check printers now :slight_smile:

27

I see. Hopefully you also have avast excluded in comodo av as well as the firewall just in case, MBAM is an excellent on demand scanner if you dont have it.

28

I have excluded it:) and I have SAS and MBAM as on-demand scanners :slight_smile: thanks for the typ anyway :slight_smile:

29

Avast full scan complete, no virus found.

My printer however, does indeed seem to be partly non responsive :frowning:

When i turn it on the PC recognises it, but when i try & print nothing happens :frowning:

Would re-installing the drivers fix it?

It’s worth a try, but the print spooler is part of the windows programs so you could end up having to repair windows itself but definatly try the drivers first and a windows update.
