Ive just updated to the latest Home Edition version, and now it takes up to 10 mins after a reboot for the on-access icon to appear in my taskbar? this also happens to the resident protection it always reverts back to disabled when I launch Avast Antivir.
98 or 98se? What else is loadig at boot time? (start, run, msconfig) Are you sure your system is clean and does not have virusses, spyware, adware, malware? http://members.home.nl/edeijl/acred/cleaning.htm
Its Win 98se, I did uninstall the older version and this one a couple of times. I used spybot and adaware before re-installing and CWShredder. Msconfig :-
And as you said “must of been somethig in the registry,” these are registry items.
Using msconfig you should have been able to stop them running at startup.
They give an indication that you previously used Nortons Anti-Virus and either you didn’t uninstall it or the uninstall failed or was incomplete. These are hopefully now gone after your re-install of Win98se.
I’m not so sure David… Maybe he had only Norton Utilities and not NAV.
The Recicle bin protection adds that driver (if I’m not wrong) and it can live with avast :
No Probs David, While I had the problem any help was gratefully received. What I meant to say earlier was that the Nprotect is a function Norton Utils uses on my Recycle Bin.
DazP, I think your problem (tray icon) is not related to Norton Utilities…
I have them working with avast in a XP and in a 98 system without trouble.
Can we start again? I mean, can you post your problem, error messages and environment… I’ll try again but now I’m a little confused…
