Avast causing serious errors with Kerio 2.1.5

[BlitzenZeus]

I've been running Kerio 2.x on XP Pro SP1, and SP2 beta with Avast while having no problems of what you speak of.

I see I'm even referenced a bit here for Kerio 2x, yes its not for novices who are not willing to learn, and are not willing to spend the time to configure it correctly.  If I don't feel someone can use it correctly, even with time, I tell them to use ZA/whatever since there have been too many people who want to use it, but are not willing to spend the time to learn.  4x is just a forever-beta bloatware project that should have never left beta a long time ago as it obviously wasn't ready.

Somebody went off on a tandum.   NO VIRUS was ever mentioned by
Blu3Flame.
He has a compatibility problem.
If you do a re-install, be sure to first get rid of the persfw.conf file and then be very careful about the permissions you DENY.  If you deny the wrong program, you might even prevent windows from booting properly.

Technical, you funny.....

When Avast comes across a virus, everything seems fine and it deletes it ok. No sign of any trouble.
Then apon the next reboot of the computer Kerio 2.1.5, apon loading, pops up an error message

I suppose it's a way to mention a virus.
As Blu3Flame told us, he's been using Kerio for quite a long time and seems aware of its functioning and history. I wouldn't blame the rule set, the only things kerio manages about avast! is the mail scanner and the updates. Should he follow your advise, I hope he will previously make a backup of his rules.
Personaly, I use avast! and Kerio 2.1.5 on win2k SP4, and they live together in perfect harmony.
The same error message has been mentioned in two other forums, one without answer and the other one in russian. The latter points to these threads:

I'm afraid it won't help a lot.

Hello,

I just started using Avast on our laptop about a week ago with Kerio firewall 2.1.5 on it along with Win XP Pro SP1. I haven't had any problems with the two of them at all. I've tried doing some searches online to see if I could help you with your problem but unfortunetly I can't seem to find any answers for you.

As whocares mentioned it would be interesting to know what viruses exactly caused this.



Best of luck!
Sincerly,
Yoga
