thanks, I think where is the problem now - I’ll let you know in some moment; disabling real-time shield should help
Wow… Good news. Which real time shield? File Shield? All of them?
okay, may be completely off-topic here, I’m not sure so I’m posting it just in case: I’ve had a huge memory leak for two days now. Thought it was Chrome but it happened again after I didn’t use Chrome for a few hours, RAM use was 3 GB out of 4. I also had some data corruption on one drive where there was an avast sandbox folder…can’t tell if that was related, that was yesterday.
Logos same here(huge memory leak). I was playing BF:BC2 and it crashed to desktop saying it was running out of memory. Since i’ve been playing the game for months now with no issues and the only thing that i’ve changed in the last few days was installing the new avast! beta i guess it could be an avast! problem. Happened 3 times so far and once when playing Mafia 2. I will roll back to 594 and see if that changes anything.
What is that? I mean, aren’t you able to save a file in disk?
Wow… It’s not only me ;D
two things, I didn’t mention it but I had to re-install Windows completely yesterday night. What happened is I rebooted when RAM use was too high, than automatically, CHKDSK showed the message at boot time about inconsistencies on a drive, and I saw it was restoring corrupted files. At the same time, while running Windows, it was getting more and more difficult to copy or delete files, dialog boxes were hanging >>> “discovering items” etc…I tried to create a new account >>> when attempting to login with the new account I got this message: "the user profile service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded. Happened two or three times. There was an unknown profile listed in advanced settings/performance…I deleted that, logged out, logged back in with my regular account and something bad happened ;D my EFS certificate got deleted and replaced by a newly generated one. No big deal (although I have no idea how this can happen) I got a backup of it, re-imported it, made sure that all encrypted data were using it, and decided to re-install Windows.
Memory leak came back today, but no corruption so far…well hopefully. I did a check disk on C: and it corrected a few things, unindexed stuff and free space to recover, no big deal I think . My fear is that the sandbox could corrupt partitions…
What are the symptoms?
What program do you suppose is conflicting with avast?
Or do you think it is only avast beta?
my normal memory use is between 1.6 and 1.8 with several apps opened. Now it’s reaching sometimes 3.2 GB :o
I don’t think anything is conflicting, I think it’s this build of the beta, alone, generating the problem. Avast visible processes don’t show too much RAM use in task manager, that’s the problem, so it’s probably either through svchost and/or kernel processes I suppose…
edit: okay this said I’m now back to normal, but I don’t know for how long. Must depend on what Avast is monitoring…last time of excessive RAM use was following a first full scan.
This will be fixed by another beta refresh, probably tomorrow.
Sorry for the trouble.
This is the “memory leak”?
Hey guys. Today i woke up, sat behind the pc and there it was, the infamous running out of memory pop-up message. Hope the new beta refresh will be out soon…
Yep, the 661 BETA release has probably a memory leak. I suspected it, and mentioned it yesterday to Logos in the chat after which he posted here too.
Greetz, Red.
yeah Red thanks for telling me about it because I didn’t suspect Avast 
(thought it was Chrome)
Please update to the latest build (668) - should have the problem fixed.
Thanks

I’ve thought it was CTM ;D
Thanks 
@ Tech
Perhaps you need to change the Original Post topic since 5.0.668 resolves this memory leak or add [Resolved] at the end of it.
You changed the title in the second post (BSOD with CTM and avast pre-release build 5.0.661) but the original title is still shown in the listings, so if that is still the case you need to change the original posts title.
I’ll do when I can say that for sure…
Up time now 2h 7min and seems ok.
yes same here, for me it’s considered solved
Solved.
Now let’s try the sandbox and see if the BSOD is also solved with CTM.
