I am using Windows XP and Avast! 4 Home Edition.
Since I have installed Avast! 4 Home Edition on my PC my Windows screensaver has become very slow. If I try to do anything in the Screen Saver tab of the Display Properties, the response is very slow and appears to have crashed. Eventually control is returned to me until I make another change or selection on the Screen Saver tab.
Tony, wellcome to forums.
I have no problems with the Screen Saver and avast.
What screen saver are you using?
Are you using it 'with' avast screen saver or not? I mean, does avast 'load' your screen saver while scanning?
Also, I use the Synchronisation Manager to synchronise 3 different offline webpages but this also crashes. To get out of this, I have to stop synchronisation of the web pages. I am then notified that "Offline Synchronisation does not seem to be responding. Do you want to cancel synchronisation?" I click on yes. The Synchronisation Manager then closes and all open windows are refreshed and updated.
What do you mean with 'crash'?
Is your avast updated? How do you connect the Internet: dial-up or DSL?
Did you set this into the avast settings (Update (Advanced))?
