Please check the end of the aswBoot.log file - what are the last few lines?


See above, I edited my post.

That's the very end of the log?
Even though it seems like it mostly finished (is "Software" the last folder on your D: drive - alphabetically, and XviD-1.1.3-28062007.exe the last file inside of it?), the last line should say "CloseLog"...

Yes, that's the end of the log.

The D: only has one folder, called Software.  It's only a 1GB partition.

There appears to be no "CloseLog" entry.

What next?

Well, I'll build the real boot-time scanner (the logging version) to see if the problem can be simulated at least there...

hi,
hope there will be a solution soon ... have the same error logs like lexluthor.
This are the now well known last lines of my boot-time scan:

exception! Error:0x77DF8B8AUnhandled exception! Error:0x77DF8B8AUnhandled exception! Error:0x77DF8B8AUnhandled exception! Error:0x77DF8B8AUnhandled exception! Error:0x77DF8B8AUnhandled exception!

Got it.  I probably won't be able to report the results back until tomorrow morning US time.

No problem, thanks for any help.

Tevion, would you also be interested in trying a special executable (with extensive logging capabilities)? It might give us some clues...

It isn't available on non-NT OSes, win9x, WinME. But it is able to do a scan before windows boots. This overcomes virus detections that when you select move to chest, etc. they can't be moved because they are in use or protected. When avast is first installed, if your OS supports it avast suggests you run a boot-time scan.

So basically you wouldn't suffer a boot-time scanner problem.

OK, I hope I found this one... it was quite tricky.
A supposed fix will be included in the next update (or beta refresh, if there is any - so you are welcome to check).

Great news.

How'd you find it?  Want to share what was going on?

Well, in the end I was able to reproduce the problem on my notebook... which was followed by two days of debugging, trying to find out where the hell the memory gets corrupted (it's not possible to start the boot-time scanner normally from Windows, so I used a special loader to make it possible, which in turn had some strange effects on the keyboard, so I had to control the machine remotely from another computer standing next to it...). In the end I found something wrong in the handling of threads in the boot-time scanner (well, "wrong" means it seemed to be wrong... the whole thing is undocumented and I didn't want to trace deep inside of Windows kernel, because Vlk - who knows more than me about NT kernel - is skiing somewhere ;))

Anyway, if you're interested, you can try the updated version here.
Just note that when you overwrite the original file in Windows\System32 folder with this new one, avast! setup will notice soon and overwrite it back with the official build - so you'd better overwrite it right before the restart (after scheduling the boot-time scan).

Thanks for the insight.

I don't really do a boot time scan often.  I'll wait for the update though the standard channels to try again.
