bear, of course Alwil team must say something.
I can only make a shot: you seem to have installation troubles because your Chest is not working. Did you try to ‘repair’ avast installation (through Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs apllet)?
Doesn’t the path to the avast folder contain any non-English characters?
Hi Vlk I don’t think there are any other languages or characters other than English.Where do I look for this?Thanks Bear41
???
In the path of the avast folder…
I checked the avast folder,and all I saw was English.How can I fix this problem?I’ve done all I know to do.I’ve uninstalled the avast cleaned out the registry and downloaded the avast again,but I’m still having the same problem the log viewer still has the same errors.Where do I go from here?Thanks Bear41
Check the folder \data\chest.
Is there a file called index.xml?
Is there write access to this folder? (in Explorer - > Properties → Security).
Thanks
Vlk
Hi Vlk I checked the avast folder and there is a file called index.xml.What do you mean by write access?Thanks Bear41
???
Into Windows Explorer go to Tools, Folder Options and on the second tab search the option called ‘simple share’ (sorry, I’m trying to translate into English). You must ‘disable’ simple sharing of the folders.
After that, right click that folder and choose ‘Permitions’ or ‘Security’ and see if the user (you, your loggin name) has ‘write’ access to that folder.
Hope this help.
I did as you said to do Technical,but I don’t have that if I do I can’t find it.I have Windows 98SE.Maybe there is somewhere else to find this?The Chest still has the same error messages.How do I fix this,also with these errors do I have protection from viruses?Thanks for the help.Hate to be such a pain.Bear41
???
Sorry, this feature is only for Windows 2000/XP and NTFS file system :-[
Problems with Chest are not exactly ‘un-protection’. You could be protected although without the Chest working properly…
Let’s try again: is there any file which is causing this or this behavior occurs for all files (Chest does not work for any file…)? 
As far as I can tell it is not working for any file.What does this mean?How can it be corrected?I’m I protected from viruses if the chest isn’t working right?I appreciate the help that you have given me.Thanks Bear41
Could someone please help me I don’t know if I am covered by the avast virus protection because the chest is not working correctly.I’ve unistalled the avast and cleaned out the registry.I downloaded the program again installed it came up with the same error with the chest.What else can I do to fix this or how do I fix this problem?The error code is 3.What does this mean?I’m I protected from viruses if the chest isn’t working?I would appreciate any help because this has been going on since I first installed the avast.Thanks Bear41
