Title: Avast 5 .0.418 - Won't start webshield service
Post by: CPUjohn on February 20, 2010, 02:36:10 AM

I uninstalled Avast!,  downloaded and installed the 2008 C++ redistribution pack, then re-installed Avast.

Finally, after a clean install, the webshields are still showing as "module not running".  In computer management, I see the Avast Web Scanner service as "Started", however I cannot see anything blocking the start of the service within the Avast screen itself.

Any ideas as to what to do to get this working ?

Thanks,

-John

Hmmm... my 2008 C++ redistribution pack (got by Windows Update) is running ok with WebShield on also... ::)

I guess you don't count the forums as helping their customers then.

The OP got a reply to his question in a few hours, but never came back.

If you have this problem then you should create your own new topic rather than add to a topic almost a year old, not to mention it will be for a completely different program version.
