seems like the latest update to xsoftspy (antispyware) sees avast files as a spyware program
can you confirm the files it has found in the included picture, are indeed part of avast please .
as everytime i remove them with xsoftspy then avast skinned interface will not run. ?

as you can see it thinks it’s realspy which is a nasty keylogger program
your help would be appreciated in confirming or denying this
They seem to be false positive according to [b]this thread[/b]. Please make use of the forum search next time. 
Two others are experiencing this problem caused by xoftspy and is most certainly a false positive, a common issue with earlier versions of xoftspy when it was classed as a rogue anti-spyware. It had a chequered history which you can check out, there are many good trustworthy applications out there with no chequered history.
Spyware Warrior - Rogue Anti-Spyware, Spyware Warrior - Trustworthy Anti-Spyware Products, some are even free.
I thank you both ;D
I did look at the last 2 or 3 pages but did not search (doh)
and i am currently looking at the spywarrior site
thanks for the help chaps
No problem welcome to the forums.
There is lots of good info on the spywarewarrior site not just the rogue anti-spyware info page.
