I am having a prob with Yahoo and Avast…wondering if anyone has any suggestions(Yahoo support says its a conflict with Avast). There are 2 users on this computer running separate desktops…on one yahoo Messenger works fine on the other as soon as you attempt to start Y.M. CPU goes to 100% for Avast and of course that means nothing works very well!!!. XP OS with SP2 installed.
Many people are using YM with Avast without a problem.
Try to find out what provider exactly is causing this and make sure the system is clean from malware.
To clean a system from malware (and protect it against) follow the instructions in the malware removal section on this website: http://mrspock.dsmirc.co.uk
I use yahoo as my only IM and have not noticed any
problems; to check for malware, it would be best to
post a request on the forum of your antispyware
provider. In case you do not have an antispyware
program, check out the info at the highly regarded :
