836094 2009-12-03 04:48:00 Any one using Avast antivirus turn off auto updates and do not update for the moment. Latest update is causing massive problems with false positives. Check out the Avast Forums for more info. McRuff (12291)
836095 2009-12-03 04:57:00 Thats if you can get there. Its slow as hell. Everyone's probably moved over to MSE anyway Speedy Gonzales (78)

Too late unfortunately. I now have to turn off Avast in order to run an important program controlling a door security system. I am most pissed off and may change from Avast if they don't sort it out.

836098 2009-12-03 06:21:00 New VPS file seems to have fixed the issues I was having. Try updating again McRuff (12291)
836099 2009-12-03 06:23:00 just updated my Avast and no issues there but it did pick up wordweb as a trojan.. :confused: ronyville (10611)
836100 2009-12-03 06:57:00 Okayyyyyyy - so how do I get the so-called infected files back out of the Virus Chest?? :help: R.M. (561)
836101 2009-12-03 07:12:00 Yes I have this problem, my main operating system won't load, luckily I have a complete but month old backup, plenty of updating to do after a restore with Acronis. Damn.

Looks as if System Folder is completely empty when I check with a subsidiary operating system I have on another drive. What a nuisance. I thought Avast was giving me a whole lot of false positives.

836102 2009-12-03 07:12:00 Was about to ask that question, but thought I might as well just uninstall, and reinstall the program LOL supergran (108)

I don't have anyfiles in my Virus Chest at the moment but the way I think it works is

Start Avast from the Start menu Entry. Choose the chest then right click the file and choose restore.
