Hello,
I have Avast home 4.7.492 On XP(family)
My internet provider allows me to download up to 10G per month. It is enough for me.
But, I reach this limit too fast and my provider charges me for each more GB
After investigations on my consumption I noticed that avast multiplies my download between 2 to 3 times
I made some tests with internet explorer and activating/deactivating resident protection. I use "netstat -e" to know number of bytes downloaded
the example below is for the
www.avast.com home page
avast activated : 809279 bytes
avast shut down : 372950 bytes
To prevent distortions with the cache of IE, I made the operation multiple times and have approximatively same figures.
Is it a normal feature of Avast or a configuration problem?
Thanks a lot,
Gauthier
