Good morning,
On some PC with windows XP when avast shields are runnning (I don’t know wich of them) it is very very slow to print. It takes seceral minutes to display the typical windows with available printers where you can input number of copy, printer etc. I could detect wich avast module affect the pritning services. I have tried to stop one by one eache module but can’t solve the problem. Any one has a salution ?
Any other security program that could interfere?
Which is your printer?
It is a network printer (Laserjet 2430) If I stop avast running module and start it again the problem desappear. But in following boot problem again. I have tryed desabling wondows firewall but problem not solved. I don’t have any other security system installed. This morning the problem also happened in one of the several Windows vista installed.
As strange as this may seem, this is not uncommon when related to some other previous AV, not just current security applications.
Have (or did) you another Anti-Virus installed in this system, if so what was it and how did you get rid of it ?
