Hi, By the way, I am very pleased with Avast. I play pogo games and they are loading extremely slow because of Avast scanning all the files first and I would like to know how and what provider to stop to prevent Avast from interfering when I am trying to load my games in pogo. There is a game that would even load because of this delay while Avast is scanning. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I suggest you set the Standard Shield to Normal.
If you need more, the only thing you can do is disabling scanning of open/create/modified files.
Thanks for getting back to me. My Standard shield is on “Normal” already. The last part of your answer I don’t know how to do, could you please explain. “disable scanning of open/create/modified files/”. Thank you
If you do that, you will be increasing your chances for malware infection. But, the choice is yours.
It’s a choice between protection and performance. But, generally, you’ll be safe.
Left click the ‘a’ blue icon.
Click Details button (if needed).
Choose the Standard Shield provider at left and Customize button.
On the page Scanner (Advanced) are that options.
Thanks, I tried that and it did not work so I am assuming that there is another problem. Strange every game loads up fine but that one game which is new at pogo. com. I get an error that it can’t connect to server and yet if I click on any other game it loads perfect. All the settings in Avast are set back to what they were. Thank you again for taking time out to to help me.
would you mind to tell us which game is was?
probably the problem is reproduceable… has this game already been played successfully on any other PC or so…?

HI onlysomeone, Yes the name of the game is “Beaker Creatures” and it’s on pogo.com but only available in the paid members section. If you are not a paid member you would only get as far as the free section for unpaid members. Thanks
okay… so i’m sorry, but i cant try :-\
I also am having problems with Pogo. Just installed Avast today and cannot access my AOL email or load any pogo game. Did you get your problems resolved?
