Super! Thanks a lot! Seems promising.
I wonder if an
older version of avast (prior to 412) would work on your machine. But I doubt it -- I have seen them not workin'.
I'm slightly afraid to ask but anyway -- maybe you'll be in the right mood one day -- but it'd be extremely helpful if you could try the previous version on your machine and verified that it really did
not work. Then update to 412 and re-verify that it does work.
The symptom of the malfunction should be as follows: you start avast, select any folder to scan (or entire disk) and when the results window appears, you should see ALL files flagged as "Unable To Scan: Internal Program Error."
Version 396 can be downloaded here:
