Avast slows internet!
« on: October 30, 2015, 05:05:38 PM »
Why does the program slows down Internet connection? When the shields are active internet speed around 18Mbit / s. If you turn off the shields internet speed around 90Mbit / s.

Please try go to:
Settings->Active protection->Customize Web shield-> Uncheck "Enable HTTPS scanning"

and try the speed test again.

That's the main reason I asked for a refund on my 10 PC license / 3 years :(

I agree that it slows down the internet speed.  Avast needs to work on that.  Especially when it still is not preventing infections.

Change the webshield settings one at a time and see if a specific one is causing the slowdown.

I do not understand what should I change?

https scanning has changed in avast 2016 and works a lot better on XP systems.
Update avast and see if the problem is solved.
