Hi major28,
In regards to your previous post:
And for the record, I can confirm that the virus definition update 110723-0 breaks the patch.
Have not tried reinstalling the patch yet as I am trying to decide whether to go back again to the previous version or keep patching this thing over and over.
...I think I now have an explanation. As I'm sure you recall, my own experience was not the same in that when I updated my definitions, the patch kept working. That said, I recently scheduled a full boot-time scan on my machine. Once I did that, the patch stopped working and the problem returned. Recopying the files solved the issue. Bizarre behavior, but likely a result of the self-protection routines built in to Avast, I'm guessing - presumably it restores the original files during the boot-time scan... Anyway, just wanted to let you (and others) know, in case they ran into the same issue. I'm now wondering if perhaps any sort of scan of the directories in which the patched files reside would do the same. Anyway, let's hope a more permanent fix emerges soon. Best wishes,
DS
