freezing after upgrade to 4.6.652
« on: April 24, 2005, 04:58:41 AM »
Hi all,

After the upgrade to Version 4.6.652, windows freezes on startup. Uninstalling avast in safe mode eliminates the freezing. Reinstalling avast didn't help. System specs:

Windows XP SP2
Mobile Pentium 4 2.2Ghz
1GB RAM

Any ideas?

Hi,

That was one of the first things I tried after reinstalling, didn't help.

So, you were using the previous version of avast! without any problem?
You don't happen to have another antivirus installed, right?

Hi,

Yes the previous version had no problems. And no, there is no other AV installed.

I'm having the same problem.  XP freezes and gives blue screen of death.  It took me two hours to figure out that Aavmker4.sys was to blame: "page fault in non-paged area."

Hi,

I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling avast. The freezes came back after the reinstall. I don't get a BSOD, the system just lock freezes.

The system freezes right after booting up?
The mouse cursor moves?

Hi,

Yes, I can move the mouse. It freezes during at the login screen or "loading personal settings" screen or just before explorer loads.

Hmm, this is going to be difficult to solve... :-\

The only possibility I see right now is follow the procedure I described here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=2850.msg20171#msg20171

When you have the dump file, you can ZIP it up and upload it to ftp://ftp.asw.cz (you don't have read access to this ftp site, just write).


Thanks

Um......I had this "freeze" crap myself and it wasn't avast its a real pain is the a44 though.
I open IE and my computer would freeze or be so slow it might as well be frozen.OR yahoo or allmost anything
Try going to SUN and get Java from them, disable VM in internet opitions and try start, acc.,system tools,system inf., and internet repair tool in tools. If not......you going to have to format.........I know I could be wrong but, this could be related to Yahoo freeze boot.........Thats my 2 cents, thanks

I also have the freezing problem on my pc.
The 'fun' thing is, a friend of mine has exactly the same problem on his laptop.

After a boot, the desktop is shown, the mouse can be moved, bu t the rest is frozen.

Software we both use (on pc and laptop):
MSOffice 2003
Spybot
Adaware
Easycleaner (Tony arts)
Avast. (no other virusscanner installed)

The Pc runs WinXP Pro SP2
The Laptop runs WinXP Home SP1

Is it posible one of the programs could be the problem? Does anyone else witch the same freezing problem has one or more of this programs installed?

Another thing,
When i boot my pc (or laptop) with al avast services off (done in safe mode), i can turn on the main service while no error will occur (althouhg the avast icon still shows a red cross). When i then  turn on another avast service (mail / web or update) it will freeze the pc.

win xp sp2 same exact problem as previous replier.  mouse moves but entire desktop freezes, and cursor hourglasses on taskbar.  Remove avast and problem disappears.  If you need me to try anything ( short of a format:)) let me know.  I miss avast already :(
