Error Message In PCLinuxOS

[bitshifter]

When I select the Avast Icon the following dialog pops: Avast! Error (title bar) Line 1 of chest index is corrupted, ignoring.

I then select "OK" and Avast appears to start.  I'm thinking that the "chest index" might be important.

Thanks!

Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.

Hi;

I received the same error after updating Openoffice to version 3. What I did to resolve this was:

1) /Places/Home Folder/
2) ctrl-H ( to show hidden files)
3) navigate to /.avast/chest/
4) this is where I moved two files to the trash they were titled. (0000) and (index.)
once I did this the error on Avast startup was gone.

Not saying this is the perfect solution. But it worked for me.

Cheers;

Thanks for the update I neglected to read what forum this post was in and my response related to the windows version.
