Hi all.
Looked through forum about error related Windows 7 x64, unfortunatly didn't find solution for the similar problem.
First I tried to install 4.8.1351 Home Ed. - didn't work, uninstalled it, run 'aswclear.exe' to remove it completely.
Later I knew about 4.8.1356 Home Ed. and installed it but got the same problem.
When OS is loaded and avast is started, the dialog box is shown....
When I try to run 'avast Antivirus!" service I'm getting error:
"Windows could not start the avast! Antivirus service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in timely fashion."
Two errors are written to System log:
1.

The avast! Antivirus service failed to start due to the following error:

Here is my 'setup log' attached.
Later I tried to run 'Install/remove programs' and 'Repair' avast installation but didn't succeeded with it.
Also I updated avast database using 'remove/install program' but that didn't help me.
Did someone else encounter the same problem?
