Very much helpful..without having to post and wait for the answer to come i found heaps of helpful answers.World is round and so where u are today i will be there perhaps tomorrow and day after someone else will be.
but i cant resist to unearth this dead corpse cause i know it's never dead..it does comes in a way to one of us...hence this post.
so i would like to say that it happened with me too.i have Avast installed on my desktop as well as laptop.
i faced the issue on laptop and read the forum on desktop and i intend to put the information i gathered from this forum to use later today when i boot my laptop.
----------------------------------------------------------
now....is it not possible tht may be one day i had chosen to disable the VRDB generation and Avast stopped it altogether forever...even made it disappear from 'a" icon right click.i mean i too dont see any mention of VRDB in 'a" in taskbar when i right click it.
or
is it that VRDB generation is complete and next time when VRDB generation starts by its own it will come back in 'a' icon in taskbar(right click) along with 'i' icon in taskbar.
so not sure...shall i fix it by repairing the installation or by fiddling with avast4.ini file
or
leave it assuming VRDB generation is complete and it will be back when new updated VRDB is required.
