AVAST not running
« on: February 02, 2013, 10:37:38 AM »
I have tried almost everything now, followed all recommendations on how tu get avast free edition to run correctly on my computer. Ive cleaned the computer with ccleaner, I have uninstalled avast with aswclear, restarted in safe mode, uninstalled other antiviruse program, run a malware detection program and errased troyan, a keylogger, etc., but no luck. Can anyone give other recommendation on what to do? Thanks and have a nice weekend!  :)

What AV were you using previously and how did you remove ? many removal tools can be found here http://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/ to remove remnants after a normal uninstall, after removing remnants of old AV you maybe required to repair or even reinstall avast as it could have been corrupted.

Thank you for your reply.

I was using AVG, but it was not running either so after recommendations I downloaded AVAST, but having problems as well.......?

Sounds like you may have a few other issues on that system, see here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 for running the necessary tools and supply the logs requested back in this thread when run.

Thankyou for the logs, I've notified one of the malware experts who will be on later due to time zone differences.

  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
  • Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply.
THEN

Download and Install Combofix
 
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2
 
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
 
* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks




  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
  • Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.[/b]
Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.

3.  If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.


Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

When installing the ComboFix I get the message that I dont have "Microsoft Windows recovery console" and that "Alternately, an existing installation of the recovery concole may be present but require updating. Without it, ComboFIx shall not attempt the fixing of some serious infections"

The ComboFix asked if it should update the Microsoft Windows recovery console. I pressed the button YES, but got the answer that it is not possible, ENTRY DENIDED.

Any recommendations?
