Startup resident Avast! ?
« on: April 14, 2009, 10:59:34 AM »
Running XP in Safe mode for hardware conflicts, so Avast! Home resident did not start. What exe or service can I start manually to enable on resident AV? Can't seem to find it in the simple user interface. I can change the sensitivity but cannot locate the start-up command(s).
Thanks! Ed

That's not possible - the necessary drivers are not loaded in safe mode.

Which drivers are necessary? How to start. Need AV protection while I search solutions for the hardware conflict?

Sorry, it's not possible to start them (other than booting normally, not into Safe mode).

All righty, then. Thanks!
Booting normally leads to no monitor & keyboard.
Guess I'll close the firewall door except while actively browsing solutions on the Wen.
