missing .dll file

[Ratbear]

Library asw.Ara.dll cannot be loaded. This functionality will not be available.

That is the error im getting, is this a common error, how is this error repaired?

I take it you mean aswara.dll not asw.ara.dll ?

It isn't a common issue (as far as I'm aware, though a forum search on that file name might reveal more) as it is new to avast 7 it is the AVAST! Remote Assistance, so unless you are using the AVAST! Remote Assistance I don't believe it would be an issue, but it should still load.

Try a repair of avast:
XP - Add Remove programs, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change/Remove button and select Repair, click next and follow.

Vista, win7 - Control Panel, Programs & Features, uninstall a program, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Uninstall/Change and select Repair, click next and follow.

You may need to reboot after the repair.
