Temporarily Disable Avast!
« on: August 09, 2013, 02:32:17 PM »
I researched this before asking, here in the forums, and the answer to this question consistently seems to be "don't do it." But there's an MMPORG I play, and often when it tries to patch itself, avast! messes up the patch and corrupts the game. Several times I have uninstalled avast! to reinstall everything and patch it, and that always works fine. There's got to be a better way -- reinstalling a 2+ gig program every few months sucks. Help!
