Slow operation!!!
« on: October 09, 2012, 02:29:40 PM »
When Avast Pro 7 is turned on my laptop with Windows XP is rendered virtually useless.  (For browsing the internet , pulling up a document, whatever)  It is so slow as to be unuseable.  Not just click and wait a few seconds slow, its click and go make a pot of coffee slow.  Any ideas?

Some more information about your system ( SP?, ram? ) what version of avast pro 7?, and what other security programs you have installed?

Essentially there is little difference between the avast free and Pro versions, certainly for web browsing. I don't see any such slow operation on my XP Pro SP3 system, see my signature and let us know your system spec CPU, RAM ?

Is this the first time you have installed avast, if so when ?
Have (or did) you another Anti-Virus installed in this system, if so what was it and how did you get rid of it ?

What other security based software do you have installed (firewall, anti-spyware) ?
