system hooks

[cartel]

I have removed avast for now.....I would like to have it sit there until i use it but even with unchecking everything but skins and help, i cant get rid of the system hooks for keyboard and mouse.
For some reason my new video drivers dont get along with avast very well i would like to use it still but manually do complete scans before i go to bed or something but as i said its still running.

I'm afraid I don't understand what exactly the problems are. You speak about keyboard and mouse, video drivers, and manual scanning... there shouldn't be any connection between those.

Could you describe the situation more in detail, please? What did you do, what did you expect, and what was really happening?

...maybe the keyboard/mouse hook in aswIdle.dll used for VRDB generation?
You should be able to suppress it by simply NOT starting the avast antivirus service (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services).

I tried to disable vrdb too. Avast started to give me illegal ops so i had to uninstall it. I would like to use it still for maual drive scans but it has "system hooks" so does my video driver, "rundll32.exe", they dont get along well. :'(

Disable the services (as described above) and starting of ashDisp.exe in the registry, that will do.

Maybe i should go with avast! Virus Cleaner ?
