After using Avast since 2005, I suddenly have a problem. I run a 2.40 GHz P4 whitebox with Windows XP Home Edition SP2, using Avast version 4.7.1098. I had the VRDB set to generate when the screensaver is running; up till today I had no problem with this. Today I got this message when my screensaver started up:
Runtime Error
Alwil Software/Avast4/ashServe.exe
abnormal program termination
and then the On-Access Scanner shut down. Had to reboot to get it to restart.
I tried switching to "generate VRDB when computer is idle", with the same results. For now I have it set to disable generation of the VRDB, but of course I'd rather not keep it that way.
Any info on what might be wrong, or suggestions for a fix?
