Avast stops

[wa0goz]

The good news is that I don't see any harmfull things.
The bad news is that you have a lot of things loading at boot time/running that are not needed.
Fix all lines that I post here with HijackThis.
Reboot after doing so and run HJT again.
If there are still things from the list (Most likely services), disable them

As I said before, I got rid of these but what do these have to do with Avast stopping on me please?  I'm confused.

I am having this exact same problem so am curious if taking any of those start-ups off helped. 

My Avast seems to be quitting randomly, with the same comments under Events.

Sorry, I was thinking this thread showed the events.  Here are the three that mine show when Avast stops, and I'm wondering if the OP gets the same showing under the Event viewer:

The avast antivirus service terminiated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).

The avast Mail scanner service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).

The avast Web Scanner service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).

All three events show an Event ID of 7034, and all have as the source "Service Control Manager."

Seems to stop every couple hours or so.  Hopefully this shouldn't have been started under another thread, since it is the same problem.

And hopefully someone knows how it might be fixed.

Please use NEW TOPIC to start your own thread as it becomes complicated for the helpers and helpers.
