AVAST FREE latest edition slowed computer
jraju:
Hi, Thank you for excellent tips. What about mcafee, shane. Particularly enterprise editions in mcafee
Shane:
I dont like mcafee at all. To many systems where I have had to uninstall it.
It comes down to this. Every single Antivirus has its pros and cons. None of them are perfect.
So when looking for an antivirus I wanted one that did its job without taking much of a hit on the system and one that was free for my customers.
Avast was the best that I could find to meet this. And it also has one of the fastest scanners out there.

Hi, Shane Thank you very much for your considered reply. I thought mcafee as . But the link clearly shows that yours is correct and perfect free tool. I will definitely switch to avast free edition, which i was using before and to which i have raised slowness of system queries. But surfing thro the net, so many edu inst are using that . Anyhow, avast also has the best anti root kit detector, in their inbuilt program. They also provide a single download of their anti root kit, called aswmbr, i suppose. It catches the rootkit, howsover deep in the system.
I will use avast with the settings you prescribed for effective use. Thank you and the thread opener oscar.
You give your answers after going thro so many issues , thank you and this article would no doubt immensely benefit all the users
Is there any setting adjustments in the "components" in avast free , while installing like file and behaviour selection in the sheild menu.

Hi, Could you attacj screen shot of which in the installation custom mode one has to install to have maximum protection without slow down of pc, sir,
Where is sandbox menu, i did not get when i download custom with only file and beha protection.
How to include zip file while scanning in avast free. Where those options . I do not find. Please attach some actual screen shots for these important items. I do not see additional protection button all in my installation . Waiting for your reply so that i could uninstall and reinstall it again. Thank you
Shane:
When you start to install avast is when you do the custom. So make sure you do that.
Then to turn off auto sandbox you go to the file shield settings (Under antivirus on the left in your screen shot), in there you will see auto sandbox and you can turn it off.
