An irritating problem

Hi, I am a new user. Having installed the free version over the weekend, which I found to be relatively easy, I am having some problem’s playing ( i’m addicted ) online bingo. The window is repeatedly minimizing, and it’s driving me crazy.
I remember while reading all the function’s and setting’s, that one of them mentioned temporarily disabling the function. But for the life of me, I cant seem to be able to find that particular case, and I dont remember for what reason it was under. I am using Avant browser, and have tried all the internet option’s that I thought might be causing this. But I have noticed that every time the window minimizes, the (a) icon in the taskbar becomes animated ( it revolves ), which makes me think it must be because the above mentioned function is not disabled.
I am an older computer user, and find myself learning all the time.
I would be most grateful for any help, thankyou.

The avast icon rotates when it is scanning stuff (I know getting technical), so it is reacting rather than being proactive. avast should have no effect in this case as it doesn’t have any functionality to do this.

I think that you are probably thinking of the avast Program Settings, Troubleshooting, Check for full screen applications (e.g. games) before displaying popups. This is to ensure that avast ‘doesn’t’ detract from full screen applications, the reverse of the problem happening with you.

I can’t see this related to avast… it shouldn’t minimize any window…
Do you use any other security program? Which one?
Does ‘bingo’ uses a particular program or just the browser? By the way, which browser?
Is your computer virus-free?

Quote from Tech

By the way, which browser?
Tech, He's using Avant browser, it's based on IE.

Sorry… to late here, I need to sleep. Indeed it’s there in his post.
But the other questions remain…

Thank’s for answering, I did’nt think the problem was with avast, but I appreciate you guy’s giving me second opinions. I will continue to try to fix the problem within my Avant browser’s setting’s.
Thank’s again.

Sometimes when I am browsing USAToday’s website & click on a link USAToday will take me to an advertisement which will resize the browsers window. It has nothing to do with avast! or my browser (Opera), it has all to do with the website. It is irritating!

It might be mouse gestures that is causing this behavior (the current version of Avant doesn’t have a “minimize current tab” mouse gesture but I think some older version did).

Does disabling mouse gestures in Tools>Avant Browser Options>Mouse>Mouse Gestures help?

You might also check out a new version just released on 6/14.
It’s available here.
