I have version 5.0.396 installed on my Win XP SP2 system.
I'm trying to do some java development, using NetBeans, but it takes a lot of minutes until NetBeans finishes scanning the classpath, and the project files. The scanning usually takes only seconds while Avast is disabled. Also the build -> run cicle of a project takes MUCH longer with Avast on (many, many seconds, more than a minute maybe; I never bothered to measure), than it takes with Avast off (a couple of seconds)
I tried to add exceptions for paths NetBeans scans, I also added Java to the exceptions, and NetBeans itself. It didn't work.
I also noticed general slowdown since I installed Avast 5. As an example, Total Commander browses files much slower.
I appreciate any ideas. Until then I have to disable Avast, in order to be able to work.
Thanks,
Clau
