Strange Avast behaviors

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

I am on Win XP. I don’t have a “my computer” icon. In the system panel, I didn’t find anything that look like a system or an event log.

Oups. :-[

22

My computer is on your desktop

23

Right Click on My Computer and then selct Manage then select event viewer and you get this:

24
My computer is on your desktop
On a standard XP system it is not. But you can show it on the desktop. But anyway it is normally in the start menu

Ok, I found the application in the “admin tools”.

Here are the logs.

First, application log.

All error for august are ieplore.exe hangs (6 of them).
July, 31st: one error:

Application halted alcupd.exe, version 1.7.0.0, module halted hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, adresse de blocage 0x00000000.
26

Security log is empty.

System log looks ok. Only errors are dhcp errors.

Both of you try this:

1] Disable system restore. url=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;283073[/url]
2] Reboot
3] Uninstall Avast using THIS util
4] Reboot
5] Login as administrator url=http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/admins.htm[/url]
6] Install Avast

While doing this, keep an eye open for ANY strange thing. Let us know what happens.

Bob, My Computer sometimes is not on the user’s desktop, especaially after clean installation of newer versions of Windows. In that case, he just have to:

1.) right click the desktop
2.) go to PROPERTIES
3.) Choose DESKTOP tab
4.) click on CUSTOMIZE DESKTOP button (bottom of the window)…
5.) on the upper part of the window, he will find DESKTOP ICONS section

Just put checkmarks on those that you wanna see on your desktop… that’s all.

Cheers !

Issue yet unresolved for a reminder, although I think we explored all possible directions. It really is un-explainable… ???

Please explain what is unresolved?
