Hi
I installed Avast a couple of days ago and still finding my way around it. I am running windows xp and ZA. When I go into the ZA menu, in the anti virus section, it says that there are no anti virus software running on my pc.
Is this normal?
Thanks
-
This would appear to be normal for ZA if you are using version 5 there ahve been a number of issues with the latest version. many users have uninstalled and gone back to version 4.5.
The fact that ZA doesn't recognise avast (and a number of other AVs), doesn'r mean avast isn't working, it is.

Hi attan and welcome to the Forums,
I use the latest version of ZA and it works fine but as CoJo just said, it doesn't recognize Avast!. I have written to them but, they don't reply like you get here in this forum. However, there arent any conflicts, and Avast is working it's just that ZA isn't smart enough to see it.....

thanks everyone
i am impressed with the swift response to my query. avast is for me.
thanks

On that subject,I just re-installed avast after the ZA 5 update.
When I boot the comp,the avast icon appears in the taskbar but with the no entry sign through it,
I get the mesage:
"The operation could not be completed."
"The aavm subsystem detected a RPC error."
Could it be a ZA or spyware guard conflict on start up?

I have copied a recent post which may help you:
"Avast : the AAVM subsystem found a rpc fault"
Do you have any other antivirus installed in this machine?
RPC is Remote Procedure Call a Windows absolutely necessary service.
The majority of the times, one of the two solutions bellow could be taken:
1. Download the application called Control in my 'signature' bellow.
Run it and follow the window. You have an option 'Change avast! Database storage method' (4th at the list) and choose XML method. Boot.
2. If does not help, Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast antivirus > remove and choose the option 'Repair'.
Can you post the results?
The control he talks about is RejZor's avast! External Control program (http://freeweb.siol.net/razor256/downloads/avast_external_control.zip) if you haven't already got it, download it, there are many useful tools.

Thx
Tried both,didn`t work :(

I don't think it's related to spyware guard conflict... I use them without problem.
ZA... Hmmm... The version 5 becomes strange to me now... Consume all CPU (vsmon service) :(
Does both of avast services are set to automatically run and start with Windows?
Can you start the services manually and test if everything else will work? ::)
-
Yup
Both set to start auto.
I tried starting ashmisv and avast only,no ZA,no SG,no nothing,with boot,still same error.
I can do nothing with the icon :(
-
Have you tryed starting Avast! up on its own?
Have you tryied to reinstall avast!?
Did you install Avast! before the firewall, im told you need to.

Lee is right... For sure your avast installation is not good.
Did you disable the firewall to install avast?
Did you install it by an administrator account?
Did you have, even in the past, any other antivirus installed?
Last, did you try to repair your avast installation through Control Panel?

Obviously, somebody else said it but I can't remember who. sorry.

Hi Cojo
my $59,562.25 knee
10 yrs ago when Alice was in the hosp. for that lung problem, the hospital alone sent us a bill for over $225,000.00. The doctors amounted to another $87,000.
Thank God for insurance.

Thats crazyness!!!!!!!!!!!
If you didn't have insurence would they exspect you to pay for it?

Hi Lee
Ofcouce. Doctors and hospitals like to get paid. Just like the rest of us.
-
correct me if im wrong but they march you off to a public hospital dont they? where you wait hours to get attended . thats what happens in aust.
But at least our public system is reasonably resourced. But we pay up to and beyond $1000 per year in tax levvy if no medical insurance. :(
-
Lee,

That's not what happens here. In most instances you have an appointment as to when you go in to the hospital to private or semi private room to have done what ever has to be done at a specific time..... The only time you have to wait if you go to the emergency room of a hospital then it's first come first serve unless it's a life threatening situation.
Here we're treated like people not animals.

oh, Bob, I do thank God for insurance...pay alot for it, but worth it!
that bill is amazing!
the figure I quoted was hospital only...have yet to add the surgeon's fee, the anesthesiologist, the radiologist
(took two times to get the alignment of the prosthesis correct), PT and medicine copays...then all the follow up from the infection.
It makes you stop and think, doesn't it!??
Our current premiums are about $250 a month...

is insurance participation close to 100% over there?
here its only around 40-50% and the average cost is similar around 3 grand per yr for individuals but then thats $aust which is around 70per cent $us

CoJo
WE are actually pretty lucky. At the time I was forced to retire, The bank payed for all of the premiums. They still do but the co-pay and deductible have changed substantually in the past 20 yrs.

no, galooma, it's probably around 80%--and I am being optmistic with that figure! it's a major issue in the presidential race. so many people are without insurance of any kind that it's a disgrace...and many retired folks have found themselves without benefits because of the companies failing to protect them :(

Atleast there is now some drug benefit to Medicare. It may not be much but it's better than nothing and up till now, that's all we ever had.

Bob, I'm really glad for you about the premiums...
and our copays have also changed...doc visits have gone up but especially our drug copays and many drugs require pre-authorization--approval is for a limited time and you have to go through the pre-auth again to make sure "the condition still requires this drug." A stupid waste of time when most of them are maintenance drugs--like my arthritis is going away? you would think after 14 surgeries for my arthritis that they would know that it's here to stay!
sigh, makes me realize that many people, even insurance companies, do not understand the severity of most forms of arthritis

The doctor who did the surgory on my arm (elbow) has been extremely generous with the Celebrex samples. I havent had to buy any for over 6 month and keep getting more each time I go to see him.
Maintenance drug coverage is what's hurt us the most. Between last year and this year, our cost has drastically increased. We now get 1/2 the amout for 2X the co-pay as we did up till Dec.31 last year.

Bob that quote you used was not said from me, it was galooma.

I do not claim to have the best of countrys but i wouldn't say they treat us like animals, they do however treat the non british better then the British,which can get on your nearves, you can get seen strait away, but no country can stand up to the health servise in Germany, that clearly has the best.

You're right. My fault, I tried to put words in your mouth. Sorry for the blunder. :)
