Avast 5 and Visual Studio 2010

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi all,

I finally got my hands on Visual Studio 2010 and decided to write my first WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) application. I noticed some horrible performance while using the WPF editor in VS2010, as well as poor compilation times. At first I thought it was some teething problems with VS2010.

However, today I discovered it was Avast that was causing the performance problems with VS2010. The solution was simply to add my VS2010 projects directory to the exclusions list of the File System Shield. It was only necessary to exclude the write actions. Everything is working blazingly fast now.

I thought it would be a nice thing to share with others.

Thanks for the tip!!!

I had install problems on Visual Studio while running avast 6.0.1000. BSOD IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP: 0x1000000a hal.dll

Disable avast and everything worked like a charm.

Disable is more unsafe so be sure what you doing.

no need to add in file exclusions, all you need to do is, disable all shields for 10 minutes, F5, after project runs in browser reenable shields, avast automatically allows if for later

Why are you using an old version of avast! ???
Current version is 7.0.1426

Responding to a post that is over a year old in a topic that is almost two years old is not advisable.

Looks like you got sucked into the topic after eisenheim replied to an old post, a year ago avast 6.0.1000 was probably
