Yes this link helped, I tried doing search for error 42100 but notihing came up, so thought there was nothing posted, but guess I was wrong. I am also runing XP PRO (SP2) with AMD64 CPU.


Once again thanks for quick response. :)

Strange, this does noe match the list of avast errors that I get with pk  ;D
Must I change it? http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=9;action=display;threadid=4818;start=msg65672#msg65672

It is correct. It is indeed this error:

42100    AVAST_POLYVIR_EXCEPTION    Exception in polymorphic viruses code
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving's not for you.

What proves, for me, that numberer error messages make no sense  ;D
At least, the solution seem that does not concern with the problem. Of course, there is a reason but the user will never understand the error message.
Sorry, this is not avast related, all error messages take this non sense way  :(
