I have an uninstall issue that I think hasn't been covered here before. Sorry, but I only went back about 50 threads before I was getting into pre-Avast 4 territory. My Avast is now corrupt.
System specs:
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (:'()
CPU: Intel Quad Core Q6600
No other Security Programs running (outside of Windows OS foo)
Avast 4 Home
While trying to troubleshoot another issue, I acquired this problem. Before this happened, I did a System Restore to a previous date to try to fix a networking problem. At that earlier config, I uninstalled Avast 4 which didn't solve the problem. Then I Undid the System Restore, which brought me forward again, but Avast was back and not functioning.
1) At start up, an Avast error sign popped up.
2) Tried to run Avast, error.
3) Tried to uninstall via Control Panel--error.
4) Tried your uninstall utility--no go.
5) Disabled self-defense module--no go.
Here is my error log:
8/17/2008 2:58:31 PM SYSTEM 1836 AAVM - initialization error: AavmStart: avworkInitialize failed, 0000A438.
8/17/2008 2:58:31 PM SYSTEM 1836 During the parsing of C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\deftasks.xml XML document, following error occurred: C.
Also got this dialog box: a setiface 2 error has occurred
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
