Hi people,
Nex is back,
Here is a quote from my emails with Alwil. The solution presented does not work for me, but maybe it does for someone else, so let’s share this information with you:
Hello,
you can try to copy these files (but backup those files in dllcache
first):
C:\WINDOWS\System32\MSV24.tmp to C:\WINDOWS\System32\dllcache\MSVCI70.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\MSV25.tmp to C:\WINDOWS\System32\dllcache\MSVCP70.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\MSV26.tmp to C:\WINDOWS\System32\dllcache\MSVCR70.dll
Then try to restart again.
I think that Windows File Protection is always replacing these files
from dllcache, but avast tries to repair it by copying newer versions,
but Windows again replaces them by older version from dllcache etc.
Please let me know if it helped.

My reply for those interested:
Hi,
Thanks for your help,
I tried to copy the files like you told me to… BTW: there was only a folder called SYSTEMS32\LASTGOOD\DLLCACHE. This folder had NO file calles MSVC…70.dll in it!
I copied MSV24.tmp etc to the folder, renamed them, but Avast keeps on asking for a reboot.
I then got so genuinely fed up with all this, that I completely removed Avast from my computer, rebooted, deleted ALL references in the WinRegister concerning Avast, I deleted \Program Files\Alwil directory, rebooted, downloaded the lastest version, re-installed… And guess what ???
I get a “reboot yes/no” !!!??!! Arrrgghhh! :-/
I really have NO IDEA whatsoever anymore as to what is going on…
Any ideas?? You know, the strange thing is: this is happening on TWO computers at the same time after the latest Avast! update. I’m using Dutch Win XP Pro, by the way. I am really out of ideas…
Best regards and hope you van help me out,
