Check your system date, day/month/year and adjust as required.

If that doesn't resolve it - Please start a New Topic of your own as this seems unrelated to the original subject and will just confuse the topic and we will try to help. 
- Go to this link, http://forum.avast.com/index.php, scroll down to the avast! Free/Pro/Suite forum and click it, click the New Topic button at the top of the list and post there.

Are you in the avast! Free/Pro/Suite forum home page showing a list of all the topics in date order ?

If not follow the instructions to get there. Once there, there is a new topic button on that page.

Did you expand my image, click on it ?

I have recently (5/8/10) installed ver 5.0.594 Pro on my home office machines which are linked in a workgroup and my desktop machine uses my laptop as the server.  Since updating I am getting "General reading errors on drive M:" when my accounts software goes to copy (and rename) files in my desktop user profile prior to launching MS Word.

Desktop is Vista and the laptop is XP.

Any suggestions welcome as I am pretty sure it is NOT the accounts software which worked perfectly before the upgrade and Avast is the only new program installed.

Hi Susan,

I doubt that the upgrade to the newest vers of avast could be causing your drive read errors.

Have you tried turning off (temporarily) avast shields and try reading your 'M' drive again?

• Right click on avast icon on sys tray
• then click on 'avast shields control'
• Then 'disable for 10 minutes

Try your 'M' drive again.

Tried by switching off all shields on both computers. Still fails. 

Thanks, at least I have proved to myself that it is NOT Avast causing the problem so it is now back to the accounts programmer to tell him just that! 

Incidentally I have been using Avast for a considerable number of years and have always trusted it.

another big problem with AVAST5:
AVAST scan all JPG files; if disable AVAST; AVAST scan allways JPG files!!!
very big problem, can't disable this scan! if exclude folder, not work... problem sended to french AVAST support but

I use SyncToy to make backup (sync with echo) of all jpg files!!
With AVAST after 1 hours, not finish, and use more CPU! (same with Avast disabled, in monitor, can see all files scanned, and counter file scanned increase!!)
With Microsoft Essential, less than 5 minutes!

and AVAST hang computer after more day not corrected!
use utorrent (with UpnP), service microsoft Upnp and SSDP enable and started, and windows 7 ultimate 64bits.
same pb with AVAST installed without module (just update and AVAST monitor)

I am running the new version on a laptop with a wireless Internet connection.

On start up, I have to enter the dashboard and click FIX because real time protection has not started up. While online, real time protection drops regularly.

I joked with a friend about this being a new feature designed to encourage users to buy the pay product but this is no joke
