Scanning error (Win98se user)

Hello,

I tried to scan an exe but after it said “Intializing Engine, please wait” I got the following error:

Program cannot create “Object” in “Storage”

with just an “Okay” option.

I have done a full scan of my system which turned out to be clean but I’d really like to scan this one file. Any idea’s why it isn’t working? I recently upgraded to the paid version after running the free version of Avast for a year. I’d also like to get rid of the “scrip Blocker” splash screen that pops up everytime I open a new page as that only started when I upgraded to the paid version.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you try to repair your installation?
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast! antivirus > Remove. Then choose Repair function in the popup window (Repair).
If this does not help, can you uninstall / boot / install / boot again?

Uncheck the proper option into Script Blocker settings.

Hi there,

Reinstalling it worked. I also found the section to remove the script blocker pop up.

Thanks for the help.

You’re welcome. Feel free to come back any time you need help you just to change experiences 8)
