Hi installed the new update at 10.50pm (UKtime) and since then to now (12.30am) my speed has been like a snail. coincidence? i have no idea.
Could it be avast?
has this happened to anyone else? Just checked speed at Fast.com and i’m at 880kbps!
Thanks for any help
edit: my ipod speed is 9 Mbps
Update: 1.4Mb now (PC not ipod)
Checked speed on my laptop and it’s 11 Mbps
and on PC it’s 2.8 Mbps. So it must be this new update. i’ve scanned with MalwareBytes and Microsoft scan, nothing found
Fine here,same as before 12.7 Mbps.
although feel web browsing has become slower.
I just updated Avast as well… and what I am noticing?
I’m using Firefox. Every webpage I attempt to load got an almost “infinite load”. At the moment, I can’t even load a soundcloud page.
So I tryed to desactivate the “avast agents” and… everything is working perfectly.
It’s not the first time avast is slowing down Firefox in such a way… so what I am expected to do? Is Avast planning a response to this Firefox problem?
I’m not noticing it:

What else is running in the background ???
should i try switching avast off and try clicking around the net? always told never to switch off anti virus when online.
Repair Avast:
Control Panel> Program and Features (Add/remove program)>Select Avast> Select Repair. Reboot when completed

If Repair doesn’t fix the problem, try the following:
Clean Install of Avast:

The repair completed but didn’t fix problem.
Completed the uninstall and tried to reinstall. during install avast told me there was an error during the install and wanted to restart computer. restarted, avast wasn’t installed.
Switched off my COMODO firewall to see if there was a conflict and tried installing again. same problem happened.
Looked in the log and found this error multiple times. this is the bottom of the log
See thread below
Latest Avast 17.5.3202 not work for me
Maybe related, I too turned off HTTPS scanning
CrazyMonkey,
You never mentioned your operating system?
If it’s either Windows Vista or Windows XP, I see a potential bug with the HTTPs scanning.
vista. what do i need to do?
In Webshield, disable https scanning.
avast isn’t installed can i still do this?
Looks like a common ‘theme’ is Vista?
Perhaps now that there are 2 threads going ‘Avast central’ will kick in.
This is not installed ???

I’ve reported this issue to the Avast devs on the internal channels about 20 mins ago. I’ve also asked them to check if XP is affected. As a temporary measure, just disable HTTPS scanning.
i said above the install failed
when trying to install. should i choose to customize set up and unselect webshield?
No, Webshield is one of your most important components.
What should I do?
