Hello,
I am French, and like one of multiple world wide users (can we say that in correct English ?) of Avast, I did experienced some problems with it, without knowing it at first
But first of all, to all the staff of Avast, I am using Avast Home Edition, your product is fantastic for several reasons, one of them being a comparison with that thing named Nortonblabla
, the main being the freeware side of things
. Thanks a lot to all of you, you do a great job, and I wouldn't change my protection for ano ther one
Talking about that, like I said, I had a problem with Shutdown frozen. It appears one day in 2005, and until 2 days ago, no clue about it. I did try many things, thinking of windows behavior, or malware (good Hijack) etc..., writing a shutdown.bat routine, spending hours on forums...
, until I found a topic about shutdown and Avast . What
How come that little sweety thing can do that so nasty ununderstanding talk with my computer
Well, it does happen
2 days on the forum before I decide to register (today) to tell you that I have found the solution by reading you and that it works very well so fare, even being connected on few web sites, connection open, all protections on. My computer is closing itself when asked, without anymore problem
My config is :
Asus KN8 E de luxe
chipset nVidia nForce3-S
AMD athlon 64 3000+
1023 DDR RAM 3200 Mo/s at 400 MHz
Windows XP SP2 pro
Protection is :
Avast antivirus home edition 4.6.744, toolkit version 1.9.4.0, virus definition is 0603-3
Kerio firewall free
Spyboot Search and Destroy and Tea Timer
Spyware Gard and blaster
Xp antispy with safeXP
Mozilla
All softs are up to date, beside windows, because i disabled all that crap !
(But I am thinking to do it some times)
1° I did applied the patch "aavmker4.sys", did work first time, and then once again
2° Applied the dep tutorial (Start--> Control Panel --> System --> Advanced --> Performance Settings --> Data Execution Prevention -->
Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select --> set second option and add ashserv.exe)
and guess what
, every thing is all right since
3° I did applied the pcmedik, just in case memory problem, dit the test of shutdown couple ot time, still OK
QUESTIONS :
Will the soft be including some king of fix in future versions
Will it be a problem to download the next versions, with the actual fix on my computer (by the way, my brother has the same protection but with Intel and XP SP2 home édition, no problem at all)
Like I am a happy user of Avast, I am talking about the soft around me. Will the problem be recurrent or are you thinking of a general fix (cause I am the one who goes to repair
)
last thing, I have the chance to speak english, but my french fellows are not so good at it (yes I know what can be said by you people
) Could it be an idea to translate in french
That it, hope being not to long, but I had to say it
