SigStub.exe

does anyone know what it is?
it is in my HJT log.. .
under

c:\a0331d325649d03a7e\SigStub.exe

tho the dir "c:\a0331d325649d03a7e" does not exist
nor can I find it in explorer, explore xp ,or using the search feature in win xp

I have "googled" the crap out if any possible variant I can think of. .
to no avail. . .

the reason why in the first place
was because my avast display icon in the tray is no longer there, nor is avast running(or appear to be)
tho it is under startup in my log. . .

 

oh, yea. . .

I cannot open any avast app
from the folder itself either

if I try to open say. .any of them

I get a prompt saying I am not allowed to access the dir or application

 

I havent either

I did uninstall and reinstall

not expired at all

not 100% sure. .but I dont really think so. .possible

well. .it was loading as it should
till an update for the sigs and software made me reboot
it was there before the reboot, not after
and I never saw it in safe mode
unless I launched the program myself

and with the current issue. .no
same errors when attempting to launch manually
(other than start up)

in startup. .it just wouldn launch


did do the read me and beyond


I did go to the avast website tho
and learned that the new update was screwy for some. .
I dont know if the two are related or not. .

I tried the "fix" the recomended
again, no change
