It seems avast is causing a issue with a game i play phantasy star online 2 and its seems that it been crashes the game a blue-screen my pc. is there away i can shut it down completely just for when i play this game i’ve been using avast for some many years and and love it. it be a shame if i would have to change AV software just because of a game.

Hello
I’m not a gamer so my input won’t help much except to say that ‘turning off’ your Anti-Virus protection(any one of the 4 shields) while on the internet is not a wise or recommended action.
Hopefully someone with gaming experience and Avast will have some more information/exclusions or the like.

Totally I do agree with you. disabling all shields didn’t work and still caused my game to crash. the only way was for me to uninstall avast complete. its got the basic windows stuff but we all know that’s basic very basic rather use avast free. hopefully a soultion comes along or a update that will no longer interfere with my game and i can continue using avast and my gaming.

What do you call the “basic windows stuff”?
