Problem with latest update 4.8.1201

[alanrf]

I am running with Firefox (2.0.0.14) without any problems along with avast 4.8.1201.

Sorry you are having some issues today.  Does Firefox still hang if you start it in "Firefox safe mode"

Note: You can also start Firefox in Safe Mode by clicking Start, selecting Run (or use the Start Search box in Windows Vista) and then entering the following in the text field:

firefox -safe-mode

Firefox safe mode just runs plain Firefox without starting any of your add-ons or plugins.

Are you running a software firewall?

I don't want to give up Firefox.                           

Why do you have to do so?
What is your problem with Firefox and avast?

Same as Alan using firefox 2.0.0.14 and 4.8.1201, no problems, what version of firefox are you using.

Can you be a little more detailed in what you were doing and what you mean by freezing, e.g. cursor also freezes, high CPU on firefox, are you able to browse for a while and then freeze, etc. ?

Sorry I am so late getting back to you but as David once said you learn to have patience with slow dial up but last night my patience ran out and just shut the computer off.  This morning I started over and only had avast and online armour running and firefox started okay.  When I added my program AdMuncher that is when Firefox froze up.  Since the two were working fine together before the latest update of avast it seems there must be a conflict between the two since nothing else has changed.  Does anyone have any suggestions and thanks for all your help.

What changes have you made to have admuncher and the web shield work together ?

I don't use ad muncher (which I know requires tweaking, try a forum search for admuncher) but I do use the firefox add-on AdBlockPlus and that is a great little ad blocker that requires no tweaking and runs seamlessly with firefox and web shield.

Downloaded and install without  a hitch. Thanks Avast for the superior program and this forum for being there to support with the quick response time

Thanks all.  David I took your advice and installed AdBlockPlus.  Thanks again.

No problem, glad I could help.
