No details on completion of Boot-time scan (v5.0.507)

I’ve performed a few version updates recently (Avast!, CFP, and the usual Windows monthly security patches) and now it seems that one of them is causing a blank results page after Boot-time scans (see attached screen grab). Is anyone else getting this?


XP Pro(sp3)/Avast! free v5.0.507/Comodo Firewall (D+) v4.0.141842.828/SpySweeper v6.1.0.145

See if the details are in SystemDrive\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Alwil Software\Avast5\report\aswboot.txt.

“How curious” ??? - Yes, the results are listed there. Though this still doesn’t explain why my normal scans list all details in the Scan Logs whilst the Boot-time scans don’t?

I’ve updated Avast! v5.0.462 to v5.0.507 in the last week, but I’ve certainly not touched any of its other settings.

Try repairing Avast in Add or Remove Programs and reboot.

Nope. That didn’t work.

Should be fixed now… I think?

:o What manner of voodoo magic is this? Yes, my boot-time-scan scan-details are once again been recorded in the scan log.

…Seriously though, what was the cause of the original problem?

It’s called engine and virus definitions update…

Straight out of a Harry Potter film, if you ask me :wink:
