Title: Entry point not found?
Post by: -spacecowboy- on July 31, 2012, 10:54:43 PM

I use the free version of avast in Windows 7. I installed latest updates and now I can't even open avast. The error message I get is
       Entry point not found... The procedure entry point blah could not be located in the dynamic link library blah.
I get this every time I try to start avast.
Do you reckon it didn't install updates properly? Should I uninstall every bit of it and then reinstall the latest version, or is there something else I can try?

Thank you. Should I definitely use this to uninstall or can I try via control panel first? Ta.
