I’ve found WD for W7 to be redundant and not very good at real-time detections/blocks, either. Rule of thumb here is to run only one real-time antispyware scanner at a time, and avast! antispyware real-time scanner is sufficient for your needs just by itself. Otherwise, if you choose to run both, greater system resources are used to do the same/slightly different thing by two different real-time antispyware scanners. This seems to result in the case of wasted system resources that otherwise could be used elsewhere. So, no. It’s really not a question of whether they are compatible or not, it is just that one is not very good at what it purports to do. WD, that is.
Hey,
After installing te update I got a virus. Result : White Screen. ???
It took me houres to get my pc clean. I couldn’t get avast of my pc.
Made a clean pc. Re-install avast and…no fire wall. Now I know the reason for the virus.
I shut down the W7 firewall. Could be a conflict. NOPE 
This is a verry bad update!!! >:(
Is there a Dutch version?
Personal help? NO. Can’t find the internet page.
Is it possible to install the preveous version?
Greetings,
Quinten
No problems so far on Win XP SP3 with half a gig ram for me apart from having to disable CTFMON file. Hope my luck continues.
Hello problem Avast new you update the new version and everything is okay, but I noticed after using the device for half an hour freezes system windows and becomes everything is unresponsive, but do I Ba restart the machine for two days did not solve the problem and you delete it and go back to a previous version please answer I hope this problemI love avast so much and I can not give it up
I get box message “the avast mail shield encountered a problem with the secure connection to your mail server. you may need to configure the ssl scan feature manually”. All that offers me is to shut off scanning ssl mail. It does not tell me which mail account it is triggering on. Win 8.1 current. Thunderbird. EDIT: all mail works fine. But it keeps giving me this message, perhaps once a day.
Are Avast sorting the problem that when a VPS update is installed the facebook security notice doesnt pop-up (I dont have facebook installed) and there is no voice. Not long ago the voice said Avast antivirus had been update and a pop-up notification of the same occurred.
It would be nice to see them both back.
A know bug and something Avast is working on I.m sure.

When I updated avast! to version 9.0.2006 through the GUI three days ago, I was one of the guys that encountered no problems at all except for this bug. Then, today I decided to uninstall through the uninstall utility, then reinstall avast!, just to have a clean installation, not expecting anything but… I have the voices and the correct pop-pup now! I already noticed this twice: the first just after re-installation, the second half an hour ago. I’m using the Italian language, and the OS is XP SP3.
Note that after uninstalling avast! I also deleted two remaining folder containing settings and located in appdata (or documents and settings). Not sure if this is relevant, just saying.
Strange…

to AlphaUMi: probable coincidence

Recently updated to Avast 2014. Running Windows 7 Pro, SP1. After updating lost ability to load web pages. Using Firefox v.24, Chrome v.30+, IE ver 10. Could ping all web sites, couldn’t load home pages. Disabled Avast security controls, could immediately access all web sites. I don’t want to keep the shields turned off. Is there a fix for this problem.
Jim Isom, this sounds like a firewall issue. In your firewall settings, delete any rules that pertain to Avast. When you next run a browser, your firewall should ask for permission to allow Avast again. You should do so. What firewall are you using?
Suggest you do a system restore to a couple of days ago which worked for me in XP Pro SP3 and stick with the last version of Avast. This update is an unbridled disaster for me after being able to upgrade from 5 to 6, 6 to 7 and 7 to 8 with no issues. Good luck! My shutdown times are still a bit slow but otherwise fully functional.
Unless Avast does a radical revamp of 9 for XP and Win7 users, my next machine this year will be running something different. Really a pity considering how well Avast worked prior to this screw-up. This “update” OUGHT to have come with a warning label for loyal prior users!
I guess the AVast firewall. Tried to check Windows firewall and got the message that Windows firewall was not using recommend settings. Tried to set ‘recommended settings’ and got the error message 80072404
I suggest you spend as much time in allowing someone to help you with fixing your problem as you’re currently spending in giving incorrect information. Thanks. 
Incorrect? One shouldn’t IMHO need to be a geek to use a program update from the GUI without issue. If you’re fine doing R&D for the vendor, that’s fine. It certainly isn’t fine in my book. NO thanks!
Which Avast are you running; Free, Pro, Internet Security or Premier?
Not on my computer it isn`t.
I received the VPS update this morning - 131026-1, but no voice and the pop-up about facebook security appeared.
When are Avast going to fix this for all so we all get the update voice and correct pop-up?
It seems to me that avast are in a no win situation here as most people were complaining about the very pop ups that were appearing.
How do we know this is not actually intended and the pop ups have been intentionally removed.?
Is there written evidence to prove either way.?
It`s possible, but it would be nice if someone from Avast would confirm either way.
I like(d) the pop-up with voice when a VPS update had been received.
