new to avast
« on: February 24, 2005, 05:55:41 PM »
I just started using Avast 2 weeks ago and really like it but now I just upgraded from Win Me to Win xp-pro and I can scan my pc but  there is nothing in the toolbar running so I know it's not running correctly. Doesn't load at startup. Do I need to re-run the set up?? Thanks in advance :)

You need to reinstall Avast.

Please follow this discussion http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=379015
Chances are you also have that NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation value set in the registry.

Thanks
