Hey Im using Avast 6 (free) and while I like the new stuff compared to 4/5, this current stable release of A6 is giving me some headache.
Quite many times it have happened that the avast-service does not start at boot, visthauth.exe might pop in. I think I fixed the certificate issues..
And Avast kept running smooth and turning on even on boots as well.
Until XP started to not to run avast-service at boot no more.
I think this happened to after installation of Office 2007 and Adobe CS3.
When I ran the whole system scan very throughout I got tens of files that very macro something, some error code about macros.
Could the latest boot troubles come from Office 2007 installation? as many macro features were installed with Office 2007.
Are there some Windows XP (sp3) services that Avast needs to run/start at boot?
Does any Avast features use MS service task scheduler? Or dcom? what else?
