Hi everyone, I seem to have solved the problem. Kaspersky didn't deem fit to answer my query so I looked at everything once again. I used a process viewer and checked out the dll's. I found in c:windows\system32\drivers a KLIF.Sys file from Kaspersky. I deleted it and re-booted. Bingo everything works.
Thanks once again to one and all for all your time and trouble. It was really appreciated. I am looking forward to using Avast now to its fullest extent.

It's always good to see an user solved his/her problem.
I'll link this thread, in the future, if anybody asked about Kaspersky uninstallation  8)

No problem, you have found the very useful forum search function (since this topic is relatively old, but still works), which is very handy as there is a wealth of information in the forums.

I am having similar problems when I start up my PC; I am getting an error stating that the file ashdisp.exe is not found.  Anyway, I just want to use Avast properly since it is one of the most popular antivirus software in the market.  I tried uninstalling Avast but it will not remove the program; I am getting a little frustrated!!! Good Luck!!

This 'old' topic is also related to having previously had Kaspersky installed so unless this exactly mirrors your problem I would suggest you start a 'new topic' of your own and answer these questions.

What is your OS ?
What version of avast do you have, the latest is 4.8.1201 ?

Have (or did) you another AV installed in this system, if so what was it and how did you get rid of it ?
What other security based software do you have that might block new startup entries, e.g. Spybot S&D (TeaTimer), AdAware (AdWatch), SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor (StartUpGuard or OnGuard), PrevX, WinPatrol, ProcessGuard, etc. ?
