Yesterday was the first day of my disappointment with Avast!
I had no problems with Avast 4.7 Home and with its VDB-updating. The day before yesterday I installed Avast 4.8.1196. Yesterday I tried to update the VDB to the version 080330-0 but received two dialogues:
[b]Error[/b]
avast!
A setiface error has occured: 2
Try to reinstall or contact support, please
[b]Setup Selfextract[/b]
An error 2 (00000002) has occured
Last performed operation was: spawning
I tried to reinstall Avast without deleting the previous installation and got the same pair of error windows. Then I uninstalled Avast 4.8, rebooted my PC and run the installation again - no problems. After that I tried again to update the VDB and … you can reread my message from the very beginning.
Avast’s log says:
Error SYSTEM 1264 Internal error has occurred in module aswar scan function failed!, function A000010E
WinAudit says:
Internal error has occurred in module aswar scan function failed!, function A000010E. Event ID 90
Tell me, please, at whose end is the problem and what I should do? ???
The internal error you quote has already been reported and is under investigation. It appears to be associated with FAT32 partitions and does not appear to be affecting the functioning of avast for those experiencing it.
I suspect this is one for the avast team to take a look at your avast setup log.
It may be well worth seeing if turning off the rootkit scan and the raw disk access (in troubleshooting section of avast program settings) allows you to perform the VPS update.
Error 2 = The system cannot find the file specified. If it is indeed a windows file system error number.
Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.
If that doesn’t work, problems associated with setiface may possibly be resolved by this (I haven’t seen the normal error message this corrects in your quoted errors).
Try Windows, Run and type:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe “C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\setiface.dll”,RunSetup
What do you get?
I’m impressed how you’ll being able to reproduce and found little bugs. This, for sure, is improving avast very quicker than other antivirus that does not have a community
