I have excluded pinnacle game profiler folder and executable I guess it uses some heavy hooking mechanisms that force Avast to scan it resulting in a lockup. Not real sure what else it could be. BTW I am a long time Kaspersky user ,I do avast as a 2ndary even if the gui is annoying at times(make it easier to exclude, restore and stuff already, maybe make a process list like you do with the firewall so you can slect the stuff you want to exclude or block,ect). I do like Avasts firewall more, Kaspersky’s firewall is a pain in the ass if you do any kind of home networking. *sigh* might be getting to a point I need to separate firewall and AV……
Anyway I am enjoying my Avast premier just this thing with pinnacle game profiler is odd, never had issues with AVG or Kaspersky might the heuristic real time scanner set to high?
I see this as more an oversight bug, there are not a lot of heavy hooking programs.
