Hello,
I have been looking for a new anti-virus and came across this site. I am very interested in Avast as I also recently set up a Linux box and would be interested in the Linux version for that.
To try it out, I downloaded and installed the free home version. I am so far very impressed with the program except for one thing.
About 2 years ago I purchased and installed Syncrafile. This program monitors folders for changes. Once it detects a modified file, it copies that file to the backup location. I use this program to keep backups of my e-mail, addressbook, favorites folder, my documents folder and more.
It appears that these two programs are not able to run together. If I attempt to start Syncrafile while Avast is running, my pc locks up. If I have both programs start when the pc boots, it freezes before it boots. I have definitely narrowed it down to these two programs. If I leave everything else run, my pc boots and runs just fine. But once I try to start both these programs, it locks up.
I tried to contact the makers of Syncrafile, but their site is down. I was wondering if anyone here has experienced the same situation or has any ideas? I would hate to not have this work together.
Thanks,
Andy
