system performance issues
« on: March 16, 2010, 02:55:00 PM »
Received a message that my older version of Avast was up in 17 days. I decided to download the 5.0 version (free version) yesterday. I find that with all seven shields running that the computer has slowed down tremendously. I have the option of turning the shields off for an indefinite length of time, but I am concerned about the dangers of surfing without the protection. Please help.

If you don't use Instant Messengers or utorrent like softwares to transfer files then you can disable IM / P2P Shield safely

You may also disable the Mail Shield if you don't use apps like Thunderbird or MS Outlook
