Well not really, given what was said about the bug being related to rename operations, so those with a high number of these rename operations (no idea exactly what that may entail, P2P, Torrents, etc.) would see this in a much shorter time frame.
@ DavidR,
It is the rename operations, so a torrent program could cause this issue? Care to explain (You do not have to)?
If so, this is why only some users have this issue?
It isn’t something I use P2P, but Multiple small parts of a big file may well (I don’t know) if that would somehow incur rename operations in the way avast would have to scan the multiple parts.
I upgraded to 7.0.1451 on three computers. The one with Windows 7 has been running fine, but the ones with XP SP3 have been experiencing problems.
After awhile my computer slows down to a crawl and then I get an error whenever I try to open something. In the event viewer these are listed as Event 26 and say “Application popup: taskmgr.exe - Application Error : The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000012d). Click on OK to terminate the application” or “Bad Image… is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette”. Other things also happen like the letters on the Start button disappearing, labels on the top of windows disappearing or turning black, and the shut down screen is changed. After a reboot things go back to normal until the problem happens again (usually in a few hours).
The event viewer will sometimes also show SidebySide errors (Event 59) at the same time these problems are happening. They say different things but for example one says “Resolve partial assembly for Microsoft.Windows.Common.Controls. Reference error message: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.”
These errors seem to be triggered when copying/moving a lot of files or browsing the internet w/ a few resource intensive tabs.
These problems started happening immediately after getting the new upgrade in Avast.
Well, that’s when it shows. On my machine, there seems to be a fixed pool of 356M (sic!) paged kernel pool and it filled up slowly with 7.0.1451.
My machine is running 24/7, it’s a kind of family server.
Resolved? Not really. I downgraded to 7.0.1426. That helped.
@DavidR:
Unfortunately, with this problem, it is no indication. My regular memory use did not go up.
It was only after I googled the Event ID 2020 problems, that I found hints to the kernel pool and methods to analyze it (see the three links in http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=100359.msg801837#msg801837).
I don’t know why but each time I want to do backup after uninstall , it was not possible , I have 3 backup files for v7.0.1426 on this PC but import error “impossible to move file to an other disk”
They told me here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=100247.msg802509#msg802509, that this is a known problem.
It’s related to your TMP-directory being on a different drive than your Avast!-installation 
But they also said in will be fixed in 7.0.1451 ;D
Glad I’ve found this thread, having the same problems on my XP/SP3 system
W7/32bit & W7/64bit system are fine.
My XP system runs continuously, I use it as a FTP server and a few other things.
After around 4 hours of running things start failing with “Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service” errors and program files not found.
I’ll go back to the previous version and await a fix.
Thanks . it’s right : AIS on C and TEMP on D
I wonder if they have not tested the new version on XP. The bug is so obvious, and has nothing to do with pc’s that are on 24/7.
The pc becomes insane rather fast, an is completely useless within an hour or two.
Well, I (and others) did beta-test it, but as I had (and still have) no problem, there was nothing to report.
As I have said mine is on all day and no adverse issues, I too also took part in the beta and RC trials.
Both the beta and the current build cause the same problem on my XP PC.
It would have been handy had you reported that in the beta topics, nothing in your post history of having done that.
Perhaps the rename theory is correct. You could try to batch rename the content of a folder. Another possibility is to download a heap of files. The files will be renamed after download completion, no matter if you use a download manager or not.
I can’t check it because I reverted to v1426
Guessing here (may be very wide of the mark) but, by chance, any user here reporting problems using P2P programs?
I personally do not care for P2P programs as I have seen some of them attempt to open literally thousands of Internet connections even, just when booting up, from a cold start. Limewire is an example. Never going on my system.
How would I know where my system was going, and how would I be able to stay on top of it? ???
I don’t use p2p and I don’t have, and have never had, any p2p programs installed.
I don’t use p2p programs.
I had problems moving files like pictures, music or movies. Another time while installing GIMP. And other times I’ve had it happen while listening to music with Foobar + browsing the web with multiple tabs open.
I uninstalled Avast and reinstalled w/ 7.0.1426. So far so good.
The P2P usage is an assumption not a certainty, just a though that P2P apps may result in greater rename operations. But my understanding of what windows rename operations entail exactly aren’t up to much. Even searches on rename operations returns many hits but not much clarity.
no p2p used for me too , happened with batch + wscrypt to change IP a lot of time + refreh firefox
