You’ll need to add the path to ashDisp.exe into
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
(as the value named avast!).
Or make a link to ashdisp.exe into your Startup folder…
Even easier, just check the option in the Appearance tab of settings.
Yes or no… just the icon seems to be disappeared…
Which one?
Which other antivirus or security program you have installed in this computer?
As reported a lot of times, the message “The provider is waiting on the subsystem to start” will be shown there until you open MS Outlook.
The plugin will be enabled automatically after that. Check if the avast plugin is not disabled into MS Outlook:
Outlook 2003 > Help > About > Disabled items
Outlook 2000 > Tools menu > Options > Other > Advanced Options > Add-In Manager
The first option, icon on system tray…
Are you using the trial version? Are you connected to Internet while enabling the Advanced Interface?
Yes. That IS the problem.
Remove NAV through Add/Remove programs from Control Panel. Boot.
Use Symantec removal tool (browse their site to get it, there are one for each antivirus series). Removing your Norton program using SymNRT.

I tried that but my MS Outlook 2003 stated that there are no disabled items…
So it means I have to use it for it to work?
Are you using the trial version? Are you connected to Internet while enabling the Advanced Interface?
Ummm… Honestly… I think it’s the cracked version i guess… yup! Was connected to the net while I enabled the Advanced Interface.
Yes. That IS the problem.

Boot.
Install avast! Boot.
See what you get.
So… I’ll still download that uninstall software even if I uninstalled it already?
Where do I get Avast Boot?
What kind of problems are we talking about here?
Thanks so much for your time and I feel so embarassed burdening you with my questions… but thank you very much for taking the time…
Any other antivirus program should be COMPLETELY
removed ( uninstalled, etc ) before installing Avast & it
is fairly well known the Norton/Symantec is the most
difficult to completely remove. In addition to "uninstalling"
using "Add/Remove Programs" AND using Symantec's
"SymNRT" "tool", it would be wise to use your computer's
"Search" feature, selecting "All files and folders" and using
the search "term" "Symantec", then "Norton" and deleting
everything it finds. IF you are unable to delete every item
it finds, then download "Unlocker" from :
http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker & install it . Then run the
"Search" again, but this time click "Unlocker" instead of
"Delete" and hopefully no more Norton Antivirus on your
computer .
It would be helpful to us IF we knew the name(s) of you &
your Dad's Operating System(s) AND if the 2 computers
are "connected" as part of a "network" .
P.S. "The provider is waiting on the subsystem to start"
is on my "Outlook/Exchange" Provider/Shield.
However, I do not use either of these 2 .
Sorry… do you want to receive free help to a crecked version :
Yes you can. You must follow three steps shown there: add some info in the Windows registry, use a batch file to prepair the uninstall, run the uninstaller.
Are you using Windows XP?
Click on the Menu button.
Choose Schedule Boot Time Scan.
Doing so displays a dialog allowing you to schedule virus scanning.
Check Archives, if you want scan all the archives.
Specify whether all the disks or just a specific folder should be scanned.
Select Advanced options for scheduling details.
Select how to automatically process infected files.
Choose how to automatically process infected system files.
Click the Schedule button to confirm the settings.
You’ll need to add the path to ashDisp.exe into

Even easier, just check the option in the Appearance tab of settings.
It may, however, having removed NAV and any conflict it may be necessary to uninstall avast, boot and reinstall to ensure all elements of avast are fully installed.
When avast discovers the presence of NAV during installation it may not fully install to avoid conflicts (which could lock-up your system), so you may need to reinstall to ensure avast is fully installed.
Go to avast folder on Windows Explorer, right click the file ashdisp.exe and choose to create a link.
Move the file to C:\Documents and Settings\ … \Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder
Go to avast folder on Windows Explorer, right click the file ashdisp.exe and choose to create a link.
Move the file to C:\Documents and Settings\ … \Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder
I looked for the ashdisp.exe but I didn’t know how to make a link. (How do you make a link anyways?)
So I pressed right click and moved the file into the location you mentioned.
When I restarted, a dialogue box came out and said that the “aswcmnOS.dll could not be found. Re-installing this may fix the problem.”
Go to avast folder (C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4) in Windows Explorer.
Right click the file ashdisp.exe with the mouse.
On the context menu that will appear, choose the option to create a link… :
Move this link - and not the ashdisp.exe file itself - to C:\Documents and Settings\ … \Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder
The better will be uninstall / boot / install / boot again…
Stick around and browse the forums, especially the sticky topics at the top of each of the forums. They provide a wealth of information to help you get the best from avast.
Hi Tommy :
