Your system capabilities are fine. I have Avast running on an old 333mhz with only 128 mb ram with negligible "bugs".
@techie101, i have monitored my resources, ihave a p2 300/196mb
I did try AVG7, but Avast seems to have done something to the accounts as i cant get the AVG mail wizard to automatically chage the settings to use its scanner ??? ??? ??? I did try ssetting it up manually, but the way it describes it isnt easy to do ??? ???NO, AVG can sometimes have problems trying to run its' mail wizard even without AVAST. If you want to use AVG for now, you MUST uninstall AVAST, run the AVclear4, shut down ALL other Windows programs [AVG is really sensitive to this] and run the AVG install.
Im am curious as to why none of the Avast team have responded ??? ??? ??? I am a big fan of their program & am starting to think that they dont want to help me for whatever reason ??? ??? ???That is not the case at all. The AVAST team is always in the background working on perfecting AVAST and fixing any problems or bugs that we here at the forum uncover.
I repeat, i would like to go back to Avast as i know it does the job....We'll do our best to see that you do come back to AVAST!
What i mean is if i use the mail wizard & protect my accounts, then when i try to send mail, it constantly pops up the username & password box, the name bit has #smtp.blueyonder.co.uk, the password bit is blank, BaNzI ;D
Would really like it if Avast team could comment on this :)
I tried all that, including following the help file to the letter & still no luck, using the "DefaultSMTP=1" option also seemed to make the mail scanner lock when checking some accounts...
