I have been having problems with the Avast! Web Scanner, I noticed this when I looked in Windows Event Viewer and saw the following entries:
Event ID: 7009
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the avast! Web Scanner service to connect.
Event ID: 7000
The avast! Web Scanner service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Sometimes after a few minutes it does seem to start up, but then sometimes "terminates", Windows Event Viewer shows the following error message:
Event ID: 7034
The avast! Web Scanner service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s).
These error messages have been happening randomly since 22nd January, but since 14th February (after I installed the new version of Comodo Internet Security) it happens every time I load Windows.
I've disabled Comodo Internet Security and the messages do not appear, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Comodo Internet Security and Avast! (using the avast! Antivirus Removal Tool), but the problem still exists.
I'm using Windows XP (SP3 and all updates), Avast! Home Edition 4.8.1335 and Comodo Internet Security 3.8.64263.468 (only Firewall with Maximum Proactive Defense+)
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
