Hello guys,
long term user, never posted here (I think). Long story short: I usually run aswmbr once in a while just to make sure there is nothing unusual at the rootkit level in my system. It used to detect my Avast install and use the engine and latest definitions accordingly. Today I changed my CMOS battery (was dead), and after that, decided to run the tool as I haven't ran it for a while. It now behaves as it does not see the Avast installation, and always asks for a download of the definitions (which, when doing it, stays always at 17030301...
Any idea why this is happening? I repaired Avast just in case, but still the same issue. I would like to still have the possibility of running aswmbr once in a while, for peace of mind.
Any hints are welcome.
