Hi there,
I just downloaded the latest Avast v5.0.677 and I am having problem with avast service that from time to time stops working and I have to go to Avast and press FIX NOW to have the service again. I already reinstalled the program ( as explained on the avast web site with their uninstaller) and same happen again..
these are the last few lines in the setup.log file

P.S. I am using the free registered version with win XP pro with SP3
P.P.S. Also if I go to the services.msi I can manually start the avast antivirus service
