If I try to run it, it doesn't seem to be doing anything, or displays an error message. For what it's worth, no problems with upgrading to here, on my XP system. I haven't done any scans yet, but the resident providers seem to be running fine, and the interface opens with no problems. And it sounds like most of the problems others are encountering show up at bootup.
Oh, and I did get the usual needs-to-restart notice. Hi, I went back to avast 4. Regards and thanks Jean Montreal. Just a bit puzzled by the problem description. I have avast installed on a physically different drive instead of my C: drive.
After installation you must reboot. Before Windows reloads, Avast performs a boot-level antivirus scan, looking for malware that might load with the operating system. The program then uses pop-up balloons to explain the new icons on your task tray. Should you decide to uninstall Avast, there is no uninstall icon. After a reboot, we found that several empty file folders under Program Files as well as several registry entries remained behind.
Interface Upon launch, Avast initiates a memory and start-up scan of your system. You will also encounter a rather garish but nonetheless helpful screen explaining the Simplified User Interface. In the professional edition there are two interfaces. The simplified interface is stylish and designed for the end-user who just wants the PC to be protected; this interface is the only interface available in the free home edition.
The second interface is more advanced with virtually no creative design; it is available only in the professional edition. Ultimately, though, we think having the two interfaces is clunky and would prefer a better design in future releases.
Features What's included in the Professional edition that you won't find in the free Home version are push updates meaning that Alwil will deploy high-priority changes to your program rather than you requesting them or waiting for the next automatic update , a script blocker a heuristic to analyze javascript and Active X , custom tasks such as setting Avast to run whenever your screensaver kicks in , a scheduler, and a command-line scanner for initiating scans at a C: prompt, for example.
This evening I discovered another file I needed from my old system. I copied it to the "Shared Documents" folder of my old machine and then tried to copy it to the Desktop on the new machine as I have done many times in the past few days without problems. To my surprise I got the "Access denied" popup window. Given the discussions here my suspicions were aroused.
It contained just one entry "Everyone". I uninstalled avast - no problems with the uninstall but the "Access denied" problem continued in trying to copy files as above.
I ran the new aswclear. I then downloaded the latest avast install file and installed again. Pleased to report that the copying of files from the single entry ACL Everyone "Shared Documents" worked without problem.
However, this would seem to imply that folks who have installed would need to uninstall, run the new aswclear and reinstall to ensure that this problem is not lurking in their system.
Shared Documents? Where's this folder, exactly? I am just guessing - but I suspect that whatever you did probably affected anything with a single ACL of "Everyone". I would be happy for a while to take my system back to a point with the problem existing if there are any further diagnostics you would like to get.
But, as I said, I find it highly improbably that the setup program would manipulate, in any way, any folder outside the avast install folder. Not to mention aswClear. Edit: maybe this system was upgraded from NT4? Is it possible? That would make some sense Thx Vlk. I've just name it like this. I had a copy of 4. That revised Aswclear program cleared up my Avast folder problem; now all gone.
If I should even think about updating Avast for any further program updates, before at least three days have passed to let obvious bugs get ironed out, feel free to kick my arse, anyone. I used the updated aswClear.
