4.7.1043 Home is fine, but after update the comptuer is slow

Hello!

I am using Home version of Avast on Vista, and have had no trouble, but about aweek ago there was an update. After the new version updated, my computer slowed to a crawl. It would take 2-3 minutes to load most applications (Task Manager and Firefox to name a couple) and almost 5 minutes to shutdown. Ater uninstalling the updates, I reinstalled the latest from the website (4.7.1043) and all was well again.

The only clue I have to it really being Avast slowing the machine down is that the comptuer runs quickly if Avast is not installed. Possibility: Is it getting stuck on VRDB creation? I have my computer stay alive in screen saver while I was gone to work, so I can’t be sure. It was still slow after that time and two reboots.

If anyone has an idea, let me know! I have never had trouble with Avast until this past week! Thanks!

Sorry VLK but I use windows xp pro together with a Comodo Firewall and … I have the same experience : my surfing is slow and it takes much more time to load certain sites… ???
I switched back to avast 1043 and everything went back to normal. I hope the next release will fix this bug …

insider, we’re not talking about slow browsing here; we’re talking about delays when e.g. running a program etc… and that’s a big difference.

Please don’t hijack other people’s threads and start your own. Again, your problem is unrelated to the one we’re trying to solve here.

Thanks

I don’t understand why, but it does it. I am going to let Avast update the software whenever it wants to on my machine, and deal with it then. It is just unfortunate that there is such a difference in the two versions.

Unfortunately, no one submitted a dump file (yet) so it’s really hard to estimate what the problem is.
It is absolutely no repro on any of our 20+ Vista machines…
