Which version of AIS? 11.2.2262. I'm not runnning any other security software. I do use the free version of malware bytes, but that does not automatically monitor the system, just is used manually to do a scan.
This was an upgrade. Well, it was time to renew my license and it was either yes or no for IS. Previously I was using "Pro," (Don't know what version) but that is no longer offered? Is IS now the same thing? Seems like it has more features. Maybe that's the thing, just uninstall and reinstall? "If a repair is changing things?" How to repair?
The sound is bad no matter what program is running the file. Most noticeable when playing videos and online ads, but it also impacts iTunes, for example. If you search this board for "lagging" and "sound," you'll see that the problem seems to be with Avast. I have also googled this problem and Win7 and Win10 have similar issues sometimes (solved usually by turning off all sound "enhancements," which I have also done), but there were cases of Norton causing a similar problem, which is when I realized that this started at the exact same time I upgraded/renewed to IS.
Is there a clean uninstall tool before I reinstall? Should I do this? Hate to turn it off or uninstall leaving me vulnerable.
Thanks for the help, everyone!
