Title: Avast messes with my Java
Post by: REDACTED on March 31, 2015, 10:16:06 AM: so i wanna play minecraft right, like the only thing that has a use for java
and like avast seems to prevent it from working or something

and i know it's avast cause i turn it off and works fine,
minecraft login, and the java verify checker

like basically it doesn't completely disable java, it just freezes it or something
so for instance when i go to the java verify thing... it just has a gray screen but doesnt work
it doesnt say "java plugin disabled or whatever"

so not sure what to do... i just wanna have minecraft launcher working correctly

Post by: REDACTED on April 06, 2015, 12:21:09 PM: i dont understand, so by default the firewall configures any new program like java

i even put all bars for easy access
and it still gives problems for java

firewall off, no problem
on, frozen java
