Check out this thread for lots of options you can set through the avast.ini file. Understanding avast4.ini file

Check out the [Common] section and change the entry for Database=ODBC to Database=XML in your avast4.ini file and see if that cures the problem.

And no need to post same question twice in two separate threads... someone would eventually answer your question from the first thread.

Anyway, listen to DavidR's advice.

Cheers !

You don't have to access the database, it is in a file called avast4.ini in \program files\alwil software\avast4\data
