new Zino plus my fav anti-virus (avast) does not work. Computer becomes very sluggish. 7 Home Premium is the OS.
did this new dell come with McAfee preinstalled? or any other AV, if so it must be removed, it is also recomended that you run the corresponding uninstalling tool, you can fiend it here http://uninstallers.blogspot.com/
Pondus: yes the brand new Dell Zino Windows 7 Home Premium mini HTPC did come with McAfee. I uninstalled the McAfee and the problems with Avast persisted. So I uninstalled Avast and the problems disappeared.
I had tried a different McAfee removal tool than the one you suggested…I will try that one now. Thanks.
FYI: I have Avast installed on about a dozen different computers. Great software…just not this time…at least for me.
I will report back. Thanks.
