I've been using Avast for a couple of years now for clients computers as well as my own, Avast has done what I needed to with some tweaking for the most part.
Recently Avast put out a program update that adds games to their "Game Mode" function automatically. This drastically changes the performance of the game being played, and in some cases even reduced performance by a large margin, even causing games to crash when abundant amounts of action is happening on screen. (and sometimes just alt+tabbing) The problem persist even upon attempting closing the program normally, to the point where i have to end the game process in task manager because the game stays frozen on screen for extended amounts of time until I do so.
Why does Avast search for games to run under its game mode without notifying it's users? Then dumping performance out the window because it's trying to manage the wrong resources for the wrong processes.
To the point where Avast is adding NON GAME PROGRAMS TO THE "GAME MODE". Unless Avast has no understanding of what a game is what so ever then this should be fixed ASAP. Adding programs like "InstallShield Wizard", "EZ Update" and more but I'll leave it at that is just incompetent and make me lose trust in who I'm using as an Antivirus.
To any Avast member who cares. Please disable game mode as a default setting. If you do keep this in your program, please update the library on what Avast considers a "Game" because at the moment it's probably screwing more people over than you could guess.
I would like to keep using your program.
Sincerely,
An Unsatisfied User.
