Something strange recently began happening after the most recent update. I continually have to keep disabling Avast shields to get my internet, my email or even my Plex Media server software to work properly.
If I add new videos to my plex server it will not update the video information and download the Movie metadata, if I disable avast it downloads them fine.
If I click on my Windows live mail it will not download new mail, if I close it and deactivate my shields it downloads fine
If I use Utorrent to download anything it kills my entire internet unless I deactivate my avast shields.
If I click on comodo dragon to browse it says it cant find the page until I disable avast
I have added all the programs to avasts trusted programs (something which I never had to do before) I have several machines all running comodo dragon and chrome as well as avast and all are exhibiting the same issues. I have been using Avast for YEARS and I hate to have to find something else. Please help
what a shame. I have had my computer biz for over 24yrs. I have installed avast on hundreds, if not thousands of machines over the past few years. I have had professional clients purchase it, and I recommend it in online forums on sites I frequent. I have always been behind Alwil 100% and here it is I cant even get alwil to help me out when I need it. Thanks and so long Avast!
Alas, I should be the one telling you ‘what a shame’.
To not be able to solve the problem in a civil manner, explicitly expressing your withdrawal with avast, and to not ask for further help on a support forum, I can only assume that you are not ‘as close’ to avast! as you say. To be using avast! for “YEARS” (yes you used caps) yet you cannot simply ask for assistance on their own forums; that speaks for itself. May you embrace your new antivirus solution. Just note that you will never find another avast! antivirus out there.
I’ve been in the computer business long enough to know if you cant get decent support then its not worth the hassle. I was a Nod32 and AVG authorized rep and I dumped them as well. I was being very civil. I have other customers having the same problem since when I work on a sysem or build one I always install avast and comodo dragon. Why should I make my life and my customers life more complicated. As far as your avast crack goes, well you dont have a clue, but Ive been using avast since version 4 and have always stuck behind it. Rather than trying to be snarky here, if you cant input something useful then go be a troll elsewhere. People like you Avast doesnt need.
