ashavast.exe
« on: October 26, 2006, 11:29:41 PM »
I'm trying the 4.7 avast free edition.
When I right click the AVAST icon and then select the
"start avast antivirus" button the cpu goes to 100%
and nothing happens with avast.
Everything else seems to be OK.
I have deinstalled/installed AVAST twice.
I have tried deleting my various other virus/spam packages
to no avail.
WINDOWS XP SP2 with all current security fixes.
150 gig free disc, 1 gig memory.

Have (or did) you have another AV installed in this system, if so what and how did you get rid of it ?

Are there any errors displayed ?
Which process is showing the 100% CPU usage in Task Manager ?

What happens if you try to run:

C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashSimpl.exe
and better:
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashSimp2.exe
