AIS 5.0.418 service hangs in "starting" status on every boot
« on: February 15, 2010, 04:54:29 AM »
As the title mentions, just now i installed the ais 418 version, after i reboot my system none of my default startup items got loaded, when i checked the things in task manager i  noted that avast anti virus is in the"starting status"(note: generally it will be in starting status for a few seconds and will change to running)for more than 10 minutes, which is making a delay in startup of other services.. I cant even take a screenshot on that state because none of the program is working until the avast service changes to running state...
Why is it happening so???

Create a dump of the AvastSvc.exe and process (Task Manager -> Processes tab -> right-click AvastSvc.exe and choose "Create Dump File") and upload it to our ftp server, please.


Thanks

I'm not trying to be rude at all, but probably not since Vlk asked you to upload it to their ftp server, not mediafire. I doubt they have time to chase it down; maybe you could upload it like he asked? I'm sure you would get a faster response that way. ;)

Yes, but that relies on Vlk rejoining this topic.

Where doing as suggested uploading to the ftp link achieves two things, a) it will be noticed and b) Vlk won't have to go to mediafire to download it (if he does notice it in this topic).

Just thinking out loud here, but I noticed from a screeenshot you posted earlier that you have about 80-90 processes running in your task manager which is more than twice the amount i have running on my machine (39). Do you by chance have alot of programs that run at startup? For instance, i have 4 startup programs. Is it possible that you have too many programs running at startup and they are all fighting to connect, and that is possibly causing a delay? Again, I'm not trying to "butt-in" to your topic, just trying to help.
