View avast! Log not working
« on: October 28, 2008, 10:47:42 AM »
When I right click on avast! Log Viewer in the blue ball down in the Taskmanager tray nothing happens. 

How do I get to see the Log?

avast! version 4.8 Home Edition Build Jul2008 (4.8.1229)

Is the process (ashLogV.exe) visible in the list of processes (in Task Manager, for example)?

If you try to run ashLogV.exe from avast folder, will it run?
Does this happen after booting?
Which skin are you using?

ashLogV is not running.

There are 5 processes running ASHDISP.EXE, ASHMAISV.EXE, ASHSERV.EXE, ASHWEBSV.EXE and ASWUPDSV.EXE

It runs but it leaves ghost images on the screen that can only be removed by reboot.

Default I think.
It is light grey.

Try this:
MENU, DISPLAY REMNANTS, LOG VIEWER Remnants, Graphics glitches, etc.

- Edit avast4.ini using Notepad [Common] section, add the following line to the section SunbeltKPFHack=2, save the file, you will be prompted by the avast! Self-defence module if this is OK answer Yes.

Whilst this is primarily for Sunbelt or Kerio Personal Firewalls it may well work even if you don't use either of these firewalls. Also see http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=37609.msg315764#msg315764

That was the fix I was looking for. 

I hate Firefox but I like IE7 with IE7Pro and it could be that its right click Mouse Gestures causes a problem. 

I only use the Windows firewall as I am well protected behind the built in firewall in my DSL router.

Good news, I will bet you don't use either Kerio or Sunbelt firewalls.

Not a problem when your problem is directly related to the topic.

As Igor says, yes you can apply this fix regardless of firewall (it certainly won't hurt), let us know if it works for you.

Ages ago I used to use Kerio 7.1.5 on my old AMD system but have long since sold it and I have no idea if it is still working or it has gone to PC Heaven.

Do you use any other security-related programs?
Thanks.
