I have been using avast 4.1 for three months now.. Have never had a problem with it.. It has found 8 different worns and trojans on my pc that McAffee did not even notice. HOW EVER today I turned on my pc and this error came up, and I cannot get the system icon to run in task bar at all.... nor will it do a scan... does anyone know what this means??? Will I have to delete program and install again??? or WHY did this happen...
I am using VPS version 0421-3, My operting sys is XP Professional, (version 2002 with service pac 1). I have a AMD processor with 1.40 GHz and 608 Mb of ram
All I did was boot was the PC and this message appeared....sorry, it would NOT let me do a print screen...
