Since updating to avast 4.8.1169, every few days I'm getting scanning errors on my hp printer files. These never happened with the earlier (4.7) version of avast. Here's an example of the messages from the log:
4/15/2008 1:27:37 PM SYSTEM 1588 AAVM - scanning error: x_AavmCheckFileDirectEx: avfilesScanReal of C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\W32X86\3\hpztbx11.exe failed, 00000005.
4/15/2008 1:27:37 PM SYSTEM 1588 AAVM - scanning error: x_AavmCheckFileDirectEx: avfilesScanReal of C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\W32X86\3\hpzpcl11.dll failed, 00000005.
I get about 15 such errors at a time listing separate files from the same folder. There is also a similar set of warnings in the warning log.
What's that about?
Is it possible that these errors happen when the other PC on the network prints on the printer connected to my PC? In any case, these errors/warnings did not happen with the 4.7 version of avast.
