Ya, it's the wierdest thing.
I rally am not sure, but it seems that it has something to do with my Lexmark, a file for the lxbu device.
Anyway...what I did, now I wish I had written the steps that I took down, becaue I have trieds so many tings that I will probobly get mixed up.
Okay, I uninstalled everything to do with Avast.
I used RegSeeker to find and delete any files that were left behind, and there were a ton of them. I did the same for AVG.
Then, I rebooted and completely removed all aspects of my all-in-one, first removing the usb connection, via safely remove hardware, the the software, etc using the same metod as the other items..
I also did not use the same setup/install file that I had originally used when I first downloaded AVAST. I went to The Major Geeks, and chose a different download site, which I'm sure has nothing to do with it, but that's what I did.
Then, I reinstalled AVAST..Again..sheesh..got the same warning about the conflict with Zone Alarm, and once again followed the recommended option to turn off the WebSHield proxy..I think that's what it was called.
Now, Avast seems to be okay, but my Lexmark now has 'Found New Hardware' at startup. So, what I'm going to do, is follow the recommended fix, which does work, sort of...I end up with th eprinter listed in MY COmputer twice..6200 series, and 6200 series # 2..I swear, that's how they are listed..
But, when that happens, that's when I get the avast error..I think. So, I am going to try to duplicate the error..and ..well, what I'm getting at, it seems that if I fix the Lexmark error, I have Avast problems, and if I fix the Avast, I have Lexmark errors..so I'm going to do some more investigating, and I'll post back.
The odd thing is, no matter which errors I get, both things, the all-in-one, and Avast, seem to work with no problems.
