system
3
Sorry, perhaps I should have been a little more specific.
I have the virus database set to auto-update and the program update set to notify.
Since the March Build of Avast!4, whenever the Virus Database is automatically updated, I find that my system locks up almost immediately when I use the net. Non net usage appears to function ok until I use the net.
I haven’t checked this on the latest version of the program 4.1.389 as there have been no Virus Database updates since I updated the program.
A reboot sorts the problem.
I cannot be sure it is to do with Avast anti-virus program but it seems suspicious. Whenever I reboot I find that there is a new version of the Virus Database.
I could equally agree that it may be due to AOL 9.0 and Kerio 4.0.16 Firewall but I have also had the problem when I reverted to AOL 8.0 and Kerio 2.1.5.
It is annoying rather than a showstopper.
I keep my XP system right up-to-date, and use various anti-(spyware, adware and malware) software, also kept up-to-date.
