unable to start Web shield

Asyn · 2015-10-02T10:46:57.000Z

Hi Chris, you could try the latest beta: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=177126.0

chris... · 2015-10-02T18:55:17.000Z

No more web shield enabled with bêta, desperately disabled (just enabled few seconds before change to desactivated)
More of that , beta doesn’t recognize my avastlic license file (corrupted or bad signing).
Well , back to 2218 :-[

I wound up going into Safe Mode, did the un-install through Programs and Features, Rebooted, went back into Safe Mode and
the ran Avast removal tool. After a reboot, I was able to install Avast Free 2016 without any further problems.
Everything is now working.

Thanks,

Yet , this is exactly what I did
1-un-installed v2218 , I returned to this release for security reasons (WS out with v2233)
2-used the appropriate removal tools in Safe Mode
3-installed AIS beta 2016 in normal mode => but avast doesn’t want my avastlic file in progress (until october 2016)
Anyway , the main will I have installing beta was to enable Web Shield , and licence or not licence ,this shield turns off immediately after I manually active.

Other big trouble , the special & appropriate removal tool for beta didn’t work when I ran it in SM (just 1/2 second to see avast location folder , then tool UI closed)
nb:others removal tools (for v2233 or v2218) work fine anyway

Now , after a long time spent trying to repair the damage , I hope it will not stay too annoying traces of installing the beta.
Apparently, everything is returned OK with the 2218 release.

I also hope avast support has not forgotten me and my package sent there are 10 days.

Hello,

by waiting about support answer , I noticed each time I boot my OS or each time I want to activate manualy web shield , I have a system event log error.
In french:

Type de l'événement :	Erreur
Source de l'événement :	Service Control Manager
ID de l'événement :	7000
.....
Le service Avast StreamFilter Driver n'a pas pu démarrer en raison de l'erreur : 
Ressources système insuffisantes pour terminer le service demandé.

Traduct:

The Avast StreamFilter Driver service failed to start because of the error:
Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

As this message does not appear with avast 2015 v2218, it’s likely that this is the reson of my problem but I have now no idea how to resolve
My config on winxp = PIV 3.2Ghz Ram=2 x DDR2 1G PC3200

Asyn · 2015-11-09T05:20:29.000Z

Did you try the latest version (11.1.2241): https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=178580.0

chris... · 2015-11-09T06:40:11.000Z

oups , I realized it’s not mentioned here (just Here)

.....my old issue I have with 2223 , 2225 and 2233 is already here

but yes , I’m now running 11.1.2241 and it’s the same as 10.0.2223 , 2225 and 2233 => web shield disabled

I would not go astray but during installation ,this version (as 3 latest 2015) launches kb970158_x86.exe / quiet at the end (or with repair) , 2218 didn’t launche and works fine.

chris... · 2015-11-09T09:12:07.000Z

thanks

already done : 2 tickets opened (1 with the old and closed support , 1 with new ticket support) and packages (your link beside) sent to avast (1 support package october 3th with 2015_2233 install and an other last week with 2016_2241 install).

nb:support give me a reg file about netframework driver

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\aswStmXP\Parameters\Wdf]
"KmdfLibraryVersion"="1.9"

but they know it hasn’t resolved issue

I have an other winxp where all is right , so I think it’s just a personal issue (missing file ?) , more difficult for avast to understand , I know … :-[

Hello,

Some infos:

now the error message about The Avast StreamFilter Driver service failed to start (in the event log) change from “Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.” to “The service can not be started because it is disabled or no enabled devices associated with it.”

On the other hand , as my 2nd WinXP (LAURENCE) works fine with all avast versions , here a screenshoot about (good) start of StreamFilter Driver.
ps:other screenshoot (CHRISTOPHE) about my (bad) start
As we could see user is “AUTOTITE NT\SYSTEM” on the good one and “N\A” for the Bad
Would it not a matter of security raw, privileges granted or somethink like this which prevents to launch this service ?

chris... · 2015-12-01T20:47:45.000Z

Hello

How can I have the attention of the avast team after three months of waiting, 2 tickets and 2 support files sent ?

Just in case I tried again with the latest version 1.11.2245, …, not better, always the two problems (Web shield disabled and corrupted license)

Even if avast french guy said me (after testing) , licence file was good and nothing has change with validation process for long time and the two problems are not related , I hardly think he is right because why I haven’t any trouble with my other winxp sp3 + w7 (web shield ok and mostly same licence file wrong on the one and right on the second and thirth) :-[

No…something missing but what is it ? chkdsk (completed test) without issue and sfc /scannow applied

I lost my Latin and avast does not seem concerned to provide me assistance

Ps:new issue today , now I have also avast background service doesn’t want to start (or stop imédiatly)

Hy,

a little up to see if someone has now an idea.

Monthes after monthes I try new version after clean install…web shield and secureDNS don’t want to stay in use.

Each time , back to avast 2015 - 2218

Of course Avast forgot my tickets (with support log), Lukas never approaches me after PM.

Winxp sp3 , CPU SSE2 compatible , don’t know what missing.

Thanks for a new little help

Ps:in my event console

The Avast StreamFilter Driver service could not start due to the error: The service can not be started because it is disabled or has no enabled device attached to it.

chris... · 2017-01-01T18:07:43.000Z

Hello,
Well I solved my 2 (unrelated) problems by myself, even if the support avast never interested in it (by 3 tickets sent or here by avast team).
I just felt like I paid my subscription for 10 years to be considered a free user :-\ >:(

So,

for Web shield down:

due to a missing version of Net Framework (3.0 SP2) , I have only 1 , 2.0 and 3.5.
Informations from the web are true when it says new Net Frameworks releases not necessarily updates older.
What’s new before 2218 avast versions , that avast never said me and Which can prevent StreamFilter to run : using Kernel Mode Driver Frameworks service (Wdf01000) this one only set with 3.0 SP2 and seen on my other winxp pc.
Of course MS doesn’t want I install it as far as I have subsequent version >:( I have to remove all Net Framework and restart to the begening.
When Kernel Mode Driver Frameworks appears again in my manager (Hidden peripherals) , avast works again ;D

for Invalid or corrupt license event:
It is a question of rights conferred , even if I don’t know why - I’am an administrator user who has all right - avast doesn’t let me use “aswChLic.exe” totally , more , without notifying me clearly.
nb:on others pc , I have this right.
also strange : why do I haven’t problems to set licence on this same pc with old (2218) avast version ?
However , run administrator session at win logon , set licence file on it (OK) , back to my own session and all right
Related:now in my.avast.com , 3 pc use the same expiration Timestamp => 19/10/2018 8:06
before the rebellious pc displayed 19/10/2018 10:06 and 2 others 19/10/2018 8:06
before only the rebellious pc was displayed in use on the licence , now neither about related licence , even if all right in 3 UI.
