love avast 5. it’s much better looking (and has extra functions)
BUT! i’ve got problems with windows 7. i’m running Pro on HP notebooks,
some upgrades, some fresh installs. ALL have a problem where win explorer
stops functioning (blue-pulse bar on “libraries”) and ALL fail to “log off”.
I have a report (not witnessed personally) that outlook runs slow - office 07
on windows 7.
after installing/uninstalling apps and even on a clean o/s, it’s something
to do with the new version. it seems okay in “game mode” ~ i assume
this means reduced functionality?
No sign of any problems in event logs - other than i killed power. it seems
fine on XP and Vista with the same hardware.
any thoughts or diagnostics would be helpful. i don’t have access to these
machines daily, so please be patient - i haven’t left this to die!
