What exactly does it mean “turn off avast”?
Does it help when you stop the Standard Shield? If yes, is it enought just to “pause” it?
At first I was “stopping on-access protection” by right clicking on the icon in the tray then clicking “stop on-access protection” at the bottom of the menu. I have found though that I can use the programs by Pausing through the on-access protection control in the same menu. I have not tried pausing each item individually (Pause Provider) to see if the problem occurs with all providers on or just one in particular.
Does the problem occur only with the mentioned CDs? (I mean, do you have any other CDs that don’t have this problem)?
I have not tried to install any other software on CD. Music CDs and DVDs play with no problem. I may be wrong but I just don’t see 6 progs from different companies all being the problem.
Does the problem occur only when you run the program installation - can you access the files in another way (such as copying the files to hard disk)?
I was able to install the programs (with the installation prog) by stopping the on-access protection as I described above. However we cannot use the programs without pausing. I haven’t tried to copy the files. In any case, I don’t see that as a viable option. This computer is new and I shouldn’t have to go to all that trouble to install every program.
I hope I’ve answered your questions fully. If not, please let me know. In the mean time, I will see if I can narrow down the possiblilites by pausing individual providers.
Thanks,
