Hi All,
I have a serious problem after upgrading from 4.8 to 5.0.418.
The whole Avast security disables itself every several minutes, with no notification. I only see the small cross appearing on the tray icon, and I have to turn the Avast shields on again (e.g. by pressing 'Fix it' on the Summary screen). The message there just says that "Avast! antivirus program has been stopped, or is in an inconsistent state.".
When I press "Fix it" everything seems to turn back on, but I get a message saying sth like "the following components could not be started: [and a list of all the components here, mail, IM, p2p etc]".
I've reinstalled Avast after a suggestion on the forum, but the problem remains.
I've also determined that the problem has nothing to do with the computer going to sleep or anything like that - I can be working the whole time, and it happens, or I can leave the computer unattended..
If it's not fixed soon I guess I will have to uninstall it and go back to 4.8 :/
I'd appreciate any help. I can upload my logs if needed.
(I'm running Win 7 Ult 64-bit on a ThinkPad X61t)
