I have been installing and uninstalling AIS over and over again, the past 2 days, only to get the same error. I have read through countless messages on this forum and I have downloaded and used the Avast uninstall tool in Safe Mode. I have rebooted, double clicked, uninstalled, re-installed, etc, etc. etc.
I have disabled as many startup up processes as possible. All yielding the same "Configuration Incorrect" error.
I am fed up. There was no hesitation in taking my sister-in-law's money for the product. I made the mistake of insisting that she use Avast to overcome email viruses she was encountering using McAfee.
It seems that Avast AIS is running after an install and reboot - I just can't get to the User Interface nor is there an icon in the system tray. I can left click on the desktop icon and see various Avast options (sandbox, virtual). This was fine product I have used for years. What the ____ Happened?
Only thing I have not tried messing with are the files in the WinSxS directory. I am willing to try this, too, if there is reason to believe it will help.
Computer: Dell Latitude D520 Laptop
Operating system is Windows XP Pro - Service Pack 3
Setup_AIS.exe is ver 5.0.507.0 - saved 21 April 2010
Is there a fix? I fear that the license will become invalid before I can get AIS operational.
HELP!
