I use Opera 10.10 and Avast! Home Edition 4.8.1368. This morning I updated to Avast 5.0.377 and it seems to be working all right. The problem is when surfing the web pages are starting to take a lot longer to load or get to about 90% and hang forever. This only started when I updated, anybody else going through this?
Gishaver,
I’ve test all my web browsers: Firefox 3.5.7; Opera 10.10; Chrome 3.x; Safari 4.0.4; IE 8 with Windows Vista SP2 and Avast 5.0.377. Everything going smothly, no preblems here.
Are you using Avast free? What OS are you using? Any other security apps installed?
Yes, it is the free version. OS is Windows 2000, computer Has Pentium 4, 3.2 Ghz processor, 1.5 GB RAM. I also use Win Patrol, Threat Fire, Spyware Blaster, Malwarebytes and Smart Defrag.
I use avast pro 5 with Windows Defender, Windows Firewall, Outpost Firewall 2009 Free, and MBAM Free. Found no problems.
Any 3rd party firewalls? If so, Disabling it (make sure windows firewall is on) and see if browsing is any better.
If that’s the case, in the firewall options try deleteing any entries related to avast/alwil software and let it make new ones for avast 5.
