Nothing in my log or anything. I might have to uninstall avast and install avg or something. Thanks
It's a pity... but I can't guess what's wrong...
Please, post the last 100-150 lines of avast log: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log\Setup.log

How many times did you install the Trial version?
How long are you using it?

I uninstalled Avast a few times and reinstalled it. I never put in my Registration yet.

I never used the demo version that long. Before I update to the latest version, I didn't even use the demo when I installed it a 4 weeks ago. I registered it and had no problem. I get message through Avast update that there was a new version out. I tried to update through the updating tool but it wouldn't let me for some reason. So I down loaded a new version, uninstalled the old version, reboot, cleaned up what was left, reboot and re-installed the new version I started to get the error message.

It does not matter if you use (on-demand scanning) but the installation itself is considered as an use (on-access). If you install / uninstall / install again, you will have only 6 days of trial period.
Can you add your Home registration key and see if you can update?

Yeah I can update with the key in, it's asking me to reboot after the update though. I'm going to reboot and see what happens.

Indeed, this should happen after first update...

Strange... Is there any other security program that could be interfering?
Firewall? HIPS protection?
It could sound stupid, but can't you try an installation from the scratch:

1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
2. Boot.
3. Use Avast Uninstall for complete uninstallation.
4. Boot.
5. Install again the last version.
6. Boot.
7. Check and post the results.

I have Outpost firewall installed. Should I try shutting that down while I do an install? I got xpsmoker installed along with Spybot s&d, but they don't run in the background.

XPSmoker is a tweaker tool, isn't it?
It won't be bad if you disable Outpost firewall and test... but, for sure, something is blocking low level activity of avast and you're receiving an error. The difficult for us is to guess what is doing that...

I did all that was said to do in the other post you posted. I even went as far as disabling outpost on startup and I still get the error.

Yes XP Smoker is a tweaking tool. But I have nothing else that is running that could mess with it. I don't know what it could be.

Anyone know if it's a registry thing? If so what kind? I scanned through what I have running in the background and all I have is Outpost firewall running.

Did you try the troubleshooting option I suggested way back when.

<snip>
Edit: Something I just thought of, that light bulb moment. If you can get in and open the Program Settings, Troubleshooting, check the 'Delay loading of avast services after other system services' and see if that has any effect.

I did that, I still get the error message at the log in screen. But after check marking that, I get to keep avast opened but still not resident though. It has a little red circle with a line through it at the bottom left corner.
