Avast 5 released to public too soon ?

[Hermite15]

Then I must have a weird version of IE-8.  Sure, it always was under Tools, but I double-checked before posting that last one and (on my system, anyway) it's definitely under Safety not Tools.    Been that way since I first upgraded from 7 to 8.

got it in safety here too   (Win7/IE8) ... this is called the "command bar" as opposed to the menu bar that isn't activated by default and where "safety" doesn't appear, when this menu bar is on.

That's strange, I use Win 7 with IE8 and mine doesn't have a safety tab nor do I have a "command bar"

Even I am rather lazy to update lol
Take so much time to install these stuffs =_="
I think my CPU is going crazy
While installing avast then its installation goes crazy also

Bob, the command bar is the one with Favorites then new tab then a house that is home and to the right is the Safety dropdown menu where Windows Update is as well.

To activate the Menu bar go to View then Toolbars then select Menu Bar

that's a bit strange indeed because in IE8 the "command bar" is there by default and the menu one is not...

Anyone have an issue with FireFox and Avast 5? I  had aperson install it, now when clicking on a link the browser goes ofline, then back to online.

Previous AV was completely removed before avast 5 was installed.

I have been using Firefox 3.6 and Avast 5 with no issues.Could it be one of your Firefox Add On's?

[oldman]

Thanks. I thought of the addons but the problem started with addition of avast 5. It could be a conflict between an addon and avast. Will try FF with no addons.

Depends on what the issue is, which isn't mentioned.

I had an issue with firefox after the 3.5.7 update (not avast related) created a post about it in the General forum a couple of weeks ago. I have found that Ghostery is causing firefox to hang when shutdown, window closes the firefox process is still running at 50%. Ghostery disabled, problem gone, ghostery uninstalled.

Is it the avast with the firewall one which causes that ?

@ DavidR,

Yes the issue was mentioned. 

now when clicking on a link the browser goes ofline, then back to online.

This only happened after Avast 5 was installed.

Must be going blind, missed it, but I haven't had that with avast 5 and firefox 3.5.7.

[Hermite15]

mostly issues in FF, 3.57 , 3.6 or else come from add-ons or a corrupted profile. Best way to find out is to troubleshoot that in safe mode (FF safe mode) or disabling extensions one by one. If that doesn't change anything, creating a new profile generally solves everything (and sometimes reinstalling the program too, ie from scratch and not using an upgraded version anymore). And honestly, I haven't seen avast (yet) interfere negatively with FF. Clearing private data on a regular basis is a good option too.

Yes

Sorry, I didn't see the update when I posted, however all problems seem to be resolved now and avast! is running smoothly.  Thanks YoKenny
