avast slowing down DSL connection

[benkar]

Strange I can access that on dial-up and it is loaded in under 10 seconds. Mind you I'm not using Vista.

Whilst this lag is going on, is the avast icon rotating ?
If not, check the Task Manager and see if there is a process talking up a high amount of CPU cycles and report your findings.

If so, perhaps if you enable Web Shield and also enable 'Show detailed info on performed actions,' this will show what is being scanned at the bottom of the screen.

Well, the first second when I load a new page, the avast icon is rotating, and with "Show detailed info on performed actions" it shows that the search is active for about 2 seconds. After the search, it take about 15 seconds to load all the small gif-pictures/icons on/to the page.

Task Manager, nothing special, IE takes about 5% and tskmngr 2-3%

Please try the following:

open the file <avast>\data\avast4.ini, and add the following line to the [WebScanner] section:

ModifyVistaSocketAutoTuning=0

Save the changes, restart the computer and see if it makes any difference.

Thanks

OK, tried that now, maybee some faster internet-http access after that, but still much slower than on the old XP and W2k-PCs (and without Web shield on the vista-PC)

I still have the problem with slow Internet-access when I use Avast webshield on the new Vista-PC, so I primary use my old XP-PC (also whit Avast webshield an so on) when I visit Internet.

A last try is to upgrade the Vista-PC from 1 MB ram to 3 MB ram, hope to get the memory within two weeks.
