Problem following auto update

Hi,

After my Avast Home version auto updated last time, there has been a problem. When I rebooted, windows could not update file %1 to %2. Following this, Avast asks me to reboot every time, and the corner window keeps telling me there’s a new version available.

In short, I don’t know what to do about it. Please help! ???

Thanks

What is your operating system?

Hi,
I have an AMD 450mhz laptop running windows ME…

When avast! asks you for a reboot again, check the file wininit.ini in your Windows directory (before you reboot). What’s the content of this file?

the contents of that file is: (this is a selection not all of it):

[rename]
C:\PROGRA~1\ALWILS~1\AVAST4\AavmGuih.dll=C:\PROGRA~1\ALWILS~1\AVAST4\AAV7144.TMP
c:\progra~1\alwils~1\avast4\aavmrpch.dll=c:\progra~1\alwils~1\avast4\aav7145.tmp
