Fendom, you didn’t hijack - I am sure avast! devs need as much info as possible. Blue Screen of Death? No BSOD - sorry. (Well, I’m not sorry but you see what I mean.)

Just a passing DEP message in the Notification Area. If I wasn’t watching, I would miss it. No avast! message. I am guessing that avast! is using DEP which means it won’t flag the message. The particular program doesn’t allow DEP disabling.

I solved the problem using the “Right click->avast! shields control->Disable for 10 minutes” each time I started/restarted the Pando download - not good! Disabling P2P protection alone might have done the job - not good either! Despite LOTRO support saying it’s an avast! problem, I have a feeling it’s a P2P problem. It would be REALLY useful if avast! devs could include a standard dialog box pop-up explaining that it passed the problem to DEP but as it’s hardware DEP, I am not sure. Hoping some dev here tests it out or asks for more technical detail.

You might want to list which P2P downloader WoW and STO uses if it isn’t Pando. (I haven’t downloaded WoW for a long time and STO not yet.
