I have to keep turning off avast as it uses 100% of my resources on my computer and it stops operating. I noticed it doesnt work well with trillian. This has only happened since i installed the latest version. I am running XP.
Are you sure that it is Avast that is using 100% of your cpu. How much ram do you have . To be honest I find that Avast use few resources, so I feel you may have another problem. What other programmes are you running at the same time
There are many users using trillian and avast! with no problem.
avast! has a number of elements that will be shown in the Task Manager screen which is using 100% CPU resources?
Try an, uninstall, reboot, install, reboot. This has been known to resolve this in the past.
And maybe do a spyware scan… (use Spybot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware and/or CWShredder etc…). Spyware can screw up your system resources --rending programs to hang, lock-up etc…
hi you must have something very big running on your computer, because i have, xp,sp2, 8 websites, firewall 2 antispy and avast all running, and still got 348 ram free and only using 2% cpu. so not avast did you used to have nortons or something else big.
