AAVM - scanning error: and warning after programm update

[Inno]

Ver. 4.7.859
Running on Windows 2003 Server x64 SP2
with Terminal Services.
Its now running for about 2 years without any problems.

Since the last Programm update from 19th Dec. I get error and warning logs
every time a user or admin opens a file over a network path.

[TERMINAL1]: AAVM - scanning error: x_AavmCheckFileDirectEx: avfilesScanReal of ...[\\server\filepath...]...  failed, 00000005
[TERMINAL1]: AAVM - scanning warning: x_AavmCheckFileDirectEx [UNI]: ...[\\server\filepath...]...   returning error, 00000005.

Any ideas ?

Regards

Hi Inno,

Remove Avast and reinstall...don't apply the update.

I've had issues since the update (Exchange Store crashing, weird errors like the ones you mentioned, etc) and I removed and reinstalled Avast last night and did not install the update - so far so good and not a single problem!  There are other recent posts all pointing to the possibility of bugs being introduced in the December update.

BTW, is the path in the error true and correct?  I seemed to have some duplication within the UNC path (eg \\server\share\server\share\directory\... ).

I had no bug type issues before the update and am more than happy to remain old the old version for the sake of stability.

I was tempted to do a full install (rather than upgrade) of 4.7.859 but the negative forum feedback on this version turned me off.  I had a limited window to work in and went the safety first approach.  I'll try 4.7.859 in a couple of months time, but I'm not in a rush.

Cheers,
Mark

I've got an answer from avast support, and it looks very good. 
Replaced the sys-file, restart the Server opened all files mentioned in the last error msg. , and no error-logs or mails.

Best regards

I'll watch the server for the next days, and let you know if its realy fixed.

Sorry it is not completely fixed.
Most of the errors are gone, but still get errors opening
*.doc and *.rtf formated files.

Waiting for the avast support answer.
