ZA does not detect Avast as loaded
« on: July 29, 2004, 01:19:48 AM »
Hi
I installed Avast a couple of days ago and still finding my way around it. I am running windows xp and ZA. When I go into the ZA menu, in the anti virus section, it says that there are no anti virus software running on my pc.
Is this normal?
Thanks

This would appear to be normal for ZA if you are using version 5 there ahve been a number of issues with the latest version. many users have uninstalled and gone back to version 4.5.

The fact that ZA doesn't recognise avast (and a number of other AVs), doesn'r mean avast isn't working, it is.

Hi attan and welcome to the Forums,
I use the latest version of ZA and it works fine but as CoJo just said, it doesn't recognize Avast!.  I have written to them but, they don't reply like you get here in this forum. However, there arent any conflicts, and Avast is working it's just that ZA isn't smart enough to see it.....

On that subject,I just re-installed avast after the ZA 5 update.
When I boot the comp,the avast icon appears in the taskbar but with the no entry sign through it,
I get the mesage:
"The operation could not be completed."
"The aavm subsystem detected a RPC error."

Could it be a ZA or spyware guard conflict on start up?

I have copied a recent post which may help you:
"Avast : the AAVM subsystem found a rpc fault"

Do you have any other antivirus installed in this machine?
RPC is Remote Procedure Call a Windows absolutely necessary service.
The majority of the times, one of the two solutions bellow could be taken:

1. Download the application called Control in my 'signature' bellow.
    Run it and follow the window. You have an option 'Change avast! Database storage method' (4th at the list) and choose XML method. Boot.

2. If does not help, Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast antivirus > remove and choose the option 'Repair'.

Can you post the results?

The control he talks about is RejZor's avast! External Control program if you haven't already got it, download it, there are many useful tools.

I don't think it's related to spyware guard conflict... I use them without problem.
ZA... Hmmm... The version 5 becomes strange to me now... Consume all CPU (vsmon service)  :(

Does both of avast services are set to automatically run and start with Windows?
Can you start the services manually and test if everything else will work?  ::)

Lee is right... For sure your avast installation is not good.
Did you disable the firewall to install avast?
Did you install it by an administrator account?
Did you have, even in the past, any other antivirus installed?
Last, did you try to repair your avast installation through Control Panel?

Hi CoJo,
Did I just give credit to you for something you said in your dreams, Sorry, didn't mean to read your thoughts.....
Obviously, somebody else said it but I can't remember who. sorry.
