Good Morning All,
I`ve come by to see if there has been any update on this issue and to add a little information which may (or may not) or may not be helpful.
1. The error does is not listed during or after an on-demand scan (Avast! 4 on default settings).
2. Under "Application" in the Avast! log viewer I have 1564,1580,1584,1576,1572, a different error number for each time the pc has been started up since the version 4 update.
3. This pc is an HP Pavilion which came with two "logical drives": C in NTFS and D in FAT 32 where Windows is stored in a "locked" partition (no back-up disc supplied, only an invitation to make your own repair disc through the HP recovery program.)
I`m no expert and whether or not these things are relevant to this issue, I don`t know but I thought they might just have some bearing on the problem.
