I have been a paid subscriber to Premier for over 2 years now . I fell in love with the effective detection and clean/clearing of the av. Firewall never caused an issue.But as of late I can no longer tolerate the disruption that is Avast Premier. At first my NAS began to appear offline on my main pc(when every other non Avast protected pc could connect no problem). Then I couldn’t enable SLI within Nvidia control panel. As of late this product has seen a very obvious decline in user friendliness. When I first subscribed it was painless and even enjoyable to use. Nothing I encountered got by it or could defy it . Now that Avast has tried to turn it into “do all” and shopping cart it has become unbearable.
And no I have not created firewall rules etc. to create this issue. It is sloppy coding and QC ala MS .I didn’t pay to be a beta tester and someone needs to jump on this quick before you lose the good name that you guys have created.
Why not try to solve the problem(s) ?
What OS/SP ?
What exact version of avast ?
Any other security (related) software installed ? (or did you have)
I appreciate the reply and the offer to assist me, but it didn’t act this way till all these changes took place (buy Avast vpn zippy doo dah,buy Avast browser cleaner :o.) All this crap being built into it I feel is the underlying issue and is making things worse. No software is perfect, this was close when I purchased it. I have years of PC and IT experience. And have fought many battles with hackers,software updates/upgrades,work flow changes,idiot pc users etc. I’m not paying so I can fight my own PC. Premier uninstalled and now everything works. No disrespect to you , but I fixed the issue. SLI works without issue and now my NAS is there on every boot up of my PC.
As you likely already know, things that are installed can be changed if you choose a custom installation.
Afterwards it can be changed.
control panel > software > avast > change.
Years of experience ?
I have build my first computer in 1982 with electronic parts.
No motherboard, sound card, graphics card etc at that time, just transistors, resistors, capacitors, led display and such ;D
Idiot pc users?
Neah, but there are a lot of people that should get a court order to stay away at least 100 meter from anything that has electronic components in it ;D
No disrespect taken (or however they say it).
Although the solution is not what I would have done, it is ok if you can live and are happy with it.
Anyway, if you want help with avast or something else (there is the general topic forum) just let us know.
