Title: Avast 5! Floppy Problem
Post by: Pabloaza on February 23, 2010, 04:22:37 AM

Hi everyone, I'm new on this forum and I'm from Argentina.
I wanted to know if anyone has the solution to this problem:

I have a computer with Windows 7 64-bit and I installed Avast Internet Security 5 as my antivirus.
The problem I have is that whenever I go to "My Computer" or explore any folder on my computer, the Floppy Drive is activated.
Which is very annoying.
It is not a virus, I already confirmed. This is caused by Avast!, Because I probe uninstalling and the problem dissapears; reinstalling Avast the problem returned.
So, if anyone knows how to disable that option (disable read the floppy), I would be grateful to hear it.

Well, greetings to all! :)
PD: Sorry for the bad english expressions :(

There is another thread concerning the same problem.  Maybe you could join the discussion there and see what is common to your machine setups.

Hi, I have had a similar problem that turned out to be the cause of service covers your system files, specifically the fact that I had set all software packaging. Helped to set this feature to the standard settings. :)
