I am a newbie here and it is very disconcerting that the first post that mentions "autorecovery.exe" has not received any replies.
My problem is that I can not launch Excel.exe nor any .xls file. Task Manager briefly runs this "autorecovery.exe" program - that all. I am running Avast Free Antivirus, Avast Secure Browser, and Avast Secureline and since recently a trial of Avast Cleanup Premium - is there a conflict between these app versions?
