Title: Had to ditch Avast
Post by: REDACTED on November 23, 2014, 10:23:24 PM

I have used Avast for a few years and never had any problems. But since the update yesterday the computer has been very slow and kept freezing. I have now had to uninstall Avast and install AVG. I am very disappointed that I have had to do this but the computer was so slow it was like being on dial up.

Sorry to hear you had problems. If you had come here before you switched to avg
we probably could have helped you with the computer slow down. We've done it before
and we'll do it again. If you so desire our assistance please uninstall avg using their removal
tool and reinstall avast.

Then provide more info...
OS?
Any other security software you have now or ever had? (firewall, anti-spyware, etc.)
If uninstalled how was it removed?
Which browser?
