Hi,
I'm new to avast! and switched my WindowsME system from Symantec's Norton AntiVirus 2001 (
)
to avast! home 4.8.1229. I chose the default installation, got my license key, updated to/with lastest
virus defs, ran a full scan on my harddisk - all working fine so far with the on-demand part.
But it seems like the on-access part is not working. The 'a' toolbar icon is there (with a tiny disabled(?)
sign) and says that there are 6 providers in total but none active.
If I select Start it doesn't do/say anything. If I start one of the protection providers separately,
I get a window that says something like this (translating from German):
'The called resident task couldn't be found. Operation couldn't be finished.'
Rebooting the system didn't help. The following avast! programs are loaded into memory:
ashwebsv.exe
ashmaisv.exe
ashserv.exe
I would like to keep avast as my AV program, but without a working on-access protection I'll
look for alternatives. So, has anyone any ideas on how to solve my problem?! Thanks in advance!
