If I turn off Advast active protection, everything works fine. There are no attachments in the browser and everything is up to date. I've had no hardware/software issues or other security software on this computer to date other then the lock up when I tried to install grime fighter. The only known issue I've had in dealing with Advast is when it repeatedly quarantined the initialization program for the online game Archeage and caused it to crash, it was a known issue and I dealt with it accordingly. Other than this, Advast opens allot of threads while web browsers are open causing a notable strain on my cpu and network's multi-thread handling capabilities. This is why I consider it invasive because I'm tracking its activity on the resource monitor relative to my actions.
Its involvement is interfering with network credential collection, that is a fact, and my limited experience thinks the program is too slow and not allowing the internet to check the credentials while it has access to them. If there is another opinion, I would appreciate hearing it since I don't really have other options besides purging a paid version of Advast that is getting very annoying.
Current version: Advast 12.3.2280
