Using the latest release of avast! Home, the install scan after restart always occurs. The following text is displayed after the avast! copyright line at the start of the scan:
.. Launching record not found Error: 0
How do I resolve/stop the scan from occuring during every bootup? I have uninstalled and reinstalled avast! to NO avail. Thanks in advance.
Maybe these links could bring you any solution:

Can someone provide clear instuction on how to resolve the problem? The information in the links is vague at best.
Sorry, but doggeral gives the solution at that links:
[i]Well if its not an obvious option in the program here is what I would do. Generally programs that run prior to the Logon Screen booting in XP use a specific key (good ol’ session manager).
Browse to the following location in regedit
HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\Session Manager
on the right there will be a key labeled “BootExecute”
Doubleclick that key and you should see at least the default value of “autocheck autochk *” which is scandisk. Somewhere below that should be the path to avast (Alwil Software) with options (sorry I can’t tell you what they would be or what the line will look like, bit i don’t know however it should be obvious that it is avast) but anyway delete that entire line and you won’t see it again.
This assumes you are on Windows XP. [/i]
Here’s what that string looks like… Deleted, problem fixed.
C:\PROGRA~1\ALWILS~1\Avast4\aswBoot.exe /A:“*” /L:“English”
Thank you!
Happy with you kojak…
An avast! user is always a satisfied user ;D
