Hey. recently bought a new hard drive and made a fresh install of xp + sp3.
I have avast version 5.0.545.
The behaviour shield:
Slows everything down. going between 2 different images in photoshop takes 10 seconds, even seem to slow down the rate pictures are rendered to the screen. opening a web browser, makes it unresponsive for 5-10 seconds. as soon as the shield is off, everything works quick as normal.
The web shield:
Seems to give my internet connection quite some problems, logs me out from msn messenger, page not found while trying to access google or any other page, but seems to do it quite randomly for some reason. Just making the connection unstable.
Been fooling around a bit with settings and narrowed the problems down to what shields are causing them. but this was ok a few days ago. not sure if theres a recent windows or program update conflicting or what the problem might be. Any clues?
