Hello,
i reinstalled my pc and now the XP securitycenter tells me that the avast 4 Home [VPS 0520-2] is not aktive. What happend?
but the scanner runs fine, everything works properly.
can somebody help me?
excuse me, my english is not very good!
What version of XP are you using, SP1, SP2, etc?
Is the avast icon visible in the system tray?
Maybe i’m wrong, but security center is only from xp2… And i think it should look like this one… I had this problem 6 month ago, when I’ve changed lot of AV programs on PC. I solved this problem only with formatting and reinstalling my pc… 
Maybe there is another way to solve this problem… ???
Yes it is XP with SP2, and i hope there will be another way to solve the problem!
AVAST runs fine, the ball rolls when i’m in the internet, only win XP say’s that it is turned off.
The system manufactor is fujitsu-siemens. On my own PC (handmade), avast works fine.
No alerts or something.
any ideas?
Heres an idea, dont know if it will work.
Try disabling Security Center then restart your PC, then enable security center again.
Right click my computer > manage
A window will pop up. Expand Services and applications
Now click on services
Find security center, right click it and select properties
Choose start up type to disable.
Restart PC.
Then follow the same steps again but choose start up type to automatic. And click on start to resume the service.
If you turn off the system shield, even with other shields active, you will get that message.
