I still find that the NNTP scanning slows binary downloads to a crawl.
Rather than scanning a file after it’s downloaded, NNTP scans each part of a file and pauses momentarily before the next part. I’ve had to turn it off completely.
Won’t the standard shield perform this operation (scan file after download)?
Yep, I was searching the forum to find an answer or a fix to this problem. I have to PAUSE Internet Mail when DL binaries. It’s not a good thing…
Is there a patch or something to get around avast! slowing and/or crashing my binaries?
Only IF you use HIGH sensitivity and only WHEN you run some kind of files. Otherwise, the file (specially archive files) could be there into your HDD until you extract them.
