Hello,

I saw these errors in my system event log under Antivirus section, this morning when cleaning up the logs,
could anybody please explain these to me… is anything wrong…

note: I’ve already deleted the picture file in question.

CHANGE WINDOWS AND REINSTALL AVAST :cry:

Ignore the last post completely.

The error 00000005 = Access is denied. For whatever reason access is denied (there are legit reasons), a reinstall of avast wouldn’t make a blind bit of difference to the access denied error. Not to mention having already deleted the file manually a reinstall would be a total waste of time.

Personally I keep my nose out of the logs (including the windows event logs) as for the most part the content is verbose and not to helpful to a user, more so for a developer. Only if I experience a problem with avast or hard errors are displayed to the screen do I look in the logs.

So are you getting any errors displayed to the screen or other avast problems ?

If not I wouldn’t worry about this.

Ah! access denied!, … actually I thought so too… but it’s better to get sure. ( I actually did some google and found it’s pretty common error msg, and another one “function setifaceupdatepackages() failed”), but now I’m sure ;D

no no screen popups(errors), and all seems running cool ;D
so I think I can safely ignore those msgs… :smiley:

thank you very much davidR, and let me wish you a very happy new year!

A Happy and Prosperous New Year to you too.
