1. Download Avast Free Antivirus: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
2. Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions..!!)
3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
4. Reboot.
I did as Instructed.Downloaded both files.
-Rebooted in safe mode used the cleaner.
-restarted PC
-Downloaded offline setupexe.
-went to option in exclusions to re-list
https://www.youtube.com/ and
https://www.twitch.tv/ in the global whitelist
-Wierdly enough hitting browse for file paths to re-list blackdesert took ages.Avast was basically stuck in a loading screen (probably loading the files or something.still wierd it took so long 5mins for the first time.I tried to browse and exclude another file and this time was instant.)
-Disabled/enabled shields and reboot PC just incase
-On Reboot I went on twitch aaand....problem still persists even on whitelist.
-I tried disabling/enabling shields and it did stop current scanning on current twitch tabs open but it comes back by simply refreshing the twitch page/youtube
-Again.When I open a new page 1 scan happens (which I assume it's normal since it tries to detect anything harmful in a new opened page) and it either closes down or pokes every once in a while at 0.1 cpu usage.I'm ok with this.
- Constant scanning only happens when watching streams or youtube videos (which I have both in exclusions) but doesn't happen when I watch videos in a streaming site.Maybe it's how youtube and twitch deliver their videos?
-Gaming is not effected and the constant scanning either doesn't pop up when starting a game or it's just there for a second for the initial start of the game (Again I think it's normal behaviour)
I am proper stumped.I guess Il just have shields off when visiting youtube/twitch and play games.
