Title: free antivirus will no longer work
Post by: REDACTED on November 12, 2017, 02:41:04 AM

Hi all,
I've used Avast for a long time. I've never encountered this problem.
I tried to up date and it gives me this error
---------------------------
avastui.exe - Entry Point Not Found
---------------------------
The procedure entry point ?PreCreateWithMsgLoop@SysTrayIcon@systray@common_ui@asw@@QAE_NPBUS_InitDescriptor@234@HAA_N@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\avastui.exe.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------
any ideas what happened?

Repair Avast:
1. Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs -> Avast
2. Click on 'Repair'.
3. Follow instructions.
4. Reboot.

OK, I tried that. NO "repair" if I check other programs "repair" is an option, just not with Avast.
