Here are the Symptoms, maybe someone can determine if this is Avast related or ISP related
Using Second Life 3D Game
Version 1.23, and 201 it happens in
Dj Software: Sam Broadcaster 4.3.6
Windows 7 64bit
When Djing in Second Life, Bandwidth drops to well below 1mb per second, so slow i end up with stuttering, very laggy, and unable to do much at all, changed Dj streams already, reported to at&t, without much help, reset the 2wire device daily, even tried another antivirus which i really didn’t wanna do, since i’ve been using Avast since 2006…about to reinstall Avast since problem remains even with other program, just want it all to work great together. Should i call into at&t dsl tech support again? (not sure if they can help or not though)
could my connection be throttled whenever i dj for using too much bandwidth, last night’s speed test while djing was the following results
Also find something but not sure its avast related
Sometimes when i do a system restore, have to reboot & computer starts with a BlackscreenofDeath, have to remove first avast in safe mode and then my system restore works ??? ???
if this is avast related i would like to see a solution in the future … :-
avast 5.0.545 free
Well if you are not willing to even indicate what country you are in in your PROFILE and do not place meaningful information in your signature then you need to have a Second Life where reality fades. ;D
Really don’t know what to do anymore, at&t techs tried telling me it’s my antivirus causing the slowdowns, and i should switch antivirus programs, but i can’t see how it’s Avast causing the slower speeds at all. Avast is so much better than MSE, or Mcafee
Yes that means streaming music to Second life, and never had this problem til now, was Djing in Second life in 2 yers, and i’m already trying MSE as a test to see what happens.
Behavior Shield was disabled on Avast install, Webshield was default, P2p was set to programs i only use, as well as IM Shield
gonna retest speed then determine if i’m gonna just have to live with it, or see if there is anything else i can do
Yeah, and still don’t know exactly what it is, leaning towards the Games servers using more bandwidth than it should i suppose, connection is fine outside of the game, Avast is back in since it’s the Antivirus protection i wanna use, gonna run a spyware scan with MalwareBytes Antimalware free edition in a minute, and will let you all know the results tomorrow, too late tonight to stay up and keep working on this.
Thx for reply Asyn & Yokenny
Dropped spybot and installed Mbam, well see in the future how it goes with system restore
Ps: Asyn where can you find disable self defense of avast ?
Well Nothing found with Malwarebytes antimalware, so i’m guessing just an issue with the 3d game itself, speed tests withoutt the game open, are nice and fast, so not gonna worry on it anymore
Hi There, I was wondering if we can use Avast 5.0.545 Free with Malwarebytes Anti-malware - I have read on the internet in my forums that people are experiencing problems while using the two together I was using Avast 4.8 Free with MBAM earlier and was happy with both - had an OS crash (the crash was h/w related) and re-did everything clean post which I have installed the latest release of Avast 5.0 Free - very happy with it but would like to know if I can use MBAM or any other free Anti-spyware program in combination with Avast 5. Spybot S&D and Lavasoft’s Ad-aware are a couple of other alternatives that I can think of but am not sure whether it’s advisable to use them with Avast 5 - please help!
