Hey, I have seem this topic on a few different posts on the avast forums but none of them with an answer.
So, the problem is that:
After installing avast! 5 pro on a clean install of windows xp pro sp3, when ever I open "my computer", the floppy drive seeks or reads trying to find something, thus delaying the contents of the my computer screen to be view for about 2-3 seconds. And also, I have found out that this happens when I open skype (latest version). This is very annoying and would like it fixed
I have sent two tickets to avast! asking about this and both times, the tickets were merged with an old ticket I made last year after about 1 week of being posted and I haven't received any replys from avast support.
The reasons why i suspect avast 5 are:
1. It started happening about installing avast 5 pro on my fresh install of xp. I installed Xp, then sp3, then board drivers, then update, then avast 5
2. before format, using avast 4.8, everything was working fine
3. Quite a few people have been having this issue - but no solutions are available
Also, I don;t want to hear anything like "just disable it, you never use it" etc. Because I do use it sometimes and also, why should I have to disable it? Also, on my laptop, i am running windows 7 ultimate with avast 5 free edition, and it works fine with a removable floppy drive.
I would really appreciate an answer to my query as i really like avast and it's new interface
Thanx All!
xD
