Applicatin cannot load skin. Function “usiGetSkin” failed. Read more about his problem in FAQ… Keeps coming up after starting avast4. It does the initial memore scan but when trying to load the dock it gives me this error. Could this be a virus? I recentry updated a web player and I am now getting these weird popups telling me I have spyware and i have to download their program to get rid of it. I also get advertisements along with this anti-spyaware pop up. Could this be a virus attacking avast4?
P.S. I have run a boot time scan and it didn’t find anything.

Please follow Tech’s suggestion for the “usigetskin failed” issue.
You most likely have a rogue antispyware program on your computer. I suggest that first you download “Rogue Remover Free” from the link below. Run it and see if that helps.
Yes. This worked thank youl. However a red negative sign now appears in front of the Avast4 icon and when I attempted to click on it, it stated the resident scanner was set to off. I click on the start resident scanner button and it gives me a warning saying that the operation could not be completed. I downloaded the RogueRemover and it did not detect anything. Thanks for all the help but it still seems to have not helped. Let me know what I can do. Thanks.
