Poll

No Avast icons on start up and error message for Outlook, missing AlwilSoftware\Avast4\ashOutXt.dll.  So after reading some of the forum, I went to Add/Remove--Avast--Repair and now Avast isn't even in my program files.  What do I do next?

What's this?

That could not be called a poll when there is only one answer to select from.

Have you tried a search of the forums for 'ashOutXt.dll' ?

I did a search and it returned lots of posts (30), but not knowing anything about your system you will have to do the legwork and check if any of the hits reflect your system.

Of course you could give us the information above.

To CharleyO -  ??? I did state that I was a Newbie to message boards.  All I needed was a little direction regarding my issue.

To DavidR -  :) I will try the search on my own (as you suggested) and attempt to fix.  If I still have issues, then I will post a message (hopefully the right way).  Thank you for a righteous reply.

Bob3160 -  :) Tried that first.  Now I will try what David R wrote.  Thank you, too.

I can't find the answer by searching this forum.  My PC is Win 98 / Outlook 98 and I have Avast 4 Home.  I turned the PC on last night and my Avast icons were gone.  Then I opened Outlook and got the ashOutXt.dll error.  I tried to repair Avast in the Add/Remove program, rebooted and now I can't find Avast even in the prgram listing.

This is one of the reasons that we ask what your system is.

As far as I can remember, Win98 doesn't support the Add Remove Change (which allows you to select the repair function) and only allows Remove and this looks like what you have done.

If you still have the downloaded file, reinstall it. I would however, suggest that you try downloading it again, just in case your download was somehow corrupted.

Did you enable the Outlook Plug-in and was it active within MS Outlook. I don't use Outlook so can't offer too many suggestions.

As people have said, the more information you can give us the easier it is to suggest options.

I assume that the Outlook Plug-in was enabled/active. as Avast did work nicely for the two months that I was running it.  

I download it again.

I suppose you're talking about avast! settings.
See under MS Outlook menu: Help > About > Plugins if the avast! one is enabled...  ;)
As you can see, there is two ways of mess it: one into avast! and other into MS Outlook  8)

I didn't need to download Avast, it was hiding in my PC!  I did have to get a new key (reregister).  Now I have my blue icons, again ;D!  I just don't know why it happened in the first place.  

Last issue - why doesn't Avast show up in
Start-->Programs menu?  When things go wrong, I hate searching for what I need...

I like this Avast, so much easier ~for me~ than Norton.

**I don't find plug-ins listed in my MS Outlook About.  Perhaps because my version is way out-dated?

No... most probably you did not install it correctly.
Close MS Outlook.
Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast antivirus > Remove
On the pop-up window, choose 'Change' and select 'Outlook/Exchange' provider.
If it is already marked, then choose the option 'Repair' at left.
Will it help?

No, the list in "About" is not an issue.  I might not be looking deep enought to find the info.  Another time when I have time.

The issue is getting Avast listed my Programs menu, so I can open Avast quickly if I ever have a problem.  I know that I have at least one other item that's not listed in the Programs menu.  I would like to know why that is and how to correct it.  Any ideas?

Did you try to right click the menu and sort it alphabetically?
avast! should be there...
Do you use more than one user?

Can you open Windows Explorer and
C:\Document and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs...
Isn't avast there?

:( It's definitely not there.

??? I don't know where Windows Explorer is (I can't find it).  Did I miss something?
