It’s funny, but I started having a similar lock up prob with ewido on my other system just last night. I didn’t even try to upgrade to avg-as on that system. I also shutdown guard.exe and set it to manual start in the services panel. I get a long freeze on that system now when I pause standard shield in avast. I will probably uninstall and reinstall ewido tonight to see if it changes anything.

I betaed Ewido’s last apckage and can not remember , if they and/or Avg sent news through an update of the change :wink:

Update from what I initially thought to be a problem with the AVG Anti-Spyware, that seemed to also be replicated when I reverted to the Ewido incarnation. Now I find that the problem also happens after a scan with Spybot S&D and also after a scan with AdAware. It now seems that the problem is in fact with avast 4.7.892.

See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=24033.0

Yes I was leaning towards latest v. of avast being responsible. I reinstalled ewido and it didn’t fix it… I also still get a temporary system freeze when unpausing the standard shield of avast. hmmm

David, I won’t even touch my ewido installation (changing to AVG antispyware) because of this.
I’ll wait further tests and issues resolving to get into these hot waters… :-\

Tech,
David already explained that the problem has nothing to do with avgas.
It is a problem with the latest version of avast! that’s causing the problem. :cry:

I am trying the new AVG anti spyware 7.5. Of course I had to delete Ewido 4.0. So far I have scanned my machine, no difference in scan speed as far as I can tell compared to Ewido. Not having any screen lock ups etc. Seems to work ok. Will lose some of its features after the 30 day trial period though. :slight_smile:
