I was having a problem with my computer. I was getting huge delays in applications starting. When they closed, the process would stay in RAM and prevent another instance from being started. Internet was inaccessible eventhough I could ping websites. I rebooted in safemode w/ networking and I got internet... Knew it had to be an application at that point.
I ran Avast while the computer ran, thinking maybe I got computer AIDS. Nothing.
I ran AVG from a bootable thumbdrive thinking maybe it was rootkit. Nothing
I ran Spybot... maybe its messed up adware/spyware/grayware... Nata.
System Restore. F it, cant find the thing. It worked fine yesterday. "System restore unable to complete - Your Anti-Virus may be blocking the application."... Cool. Turned off Avast. Instant internet, no more memory dumps, smooth sailing.
I've been using avast for 4 years. Always worked great. You guys are awesome but you definitely botched this one.
