AVAST FREE latest edition slowed computer

(1/4) > >>

Oscar:
Hi since i downloaded the latest version of AVAST my computer has slowed up.

My computer has low resources, is this the reason AVAST sucking more?

Thanks in advance

Shane:
Here is how I install avast.

Go tot add/remove programs and start the uninstall of avast. It will come up with an option to change what it has installed.

For me I only do the file shield and behavior shield. Everything else I uncheck. I run into to many odd problems with the others (Such as the web shield breaking and then blocking all sites, the network sheild slowing down browser games horribly and other things). And it will make a performance difference.

Try it and let me know.

Shane

Oscar:
Thanks Shane

Done that, helped but still slower than before.

Shane:
I havent seen how their new version 8 does on slower systems.

Turn off the AV and see how it feels.
