Powerarchiver (www.powerarchiver.com) takes like 5 seconds to open when avast is enabled…
avast starts sf.bin whenever powerarchiver is run…think that has something to do with it.
when I disable avast, powerarchiver opens instantly
I dont think I had this problem with versions before 7.0.1451
I have added POWERARC.EXE to avast file system shield exclusion list because of this
windows 7 64 bit, intel i7 920, avast free 7.0.1451
You can either install another program (7-Zip, FAR, …) or install an older version of avast! (for example from Filehippo.com) or change antvirus.
Bena how does that help the user ??? the idea is to give helpful advice for the OP to be able to run the the programs there having trouble with, if you find anymore helpful advice like what you’ve offered here then please dont bother posting :
fnukyguy you have done the right thing by posting here and my suggestion would of been to do as you have done for the time being and see if the problem is fixed when the next refresh is out.
