Avast Free AV v5.0.677 and OP FW Pro v.7.0.4 Conflict??

Well process explorer shouldn't really be running all the time in the background. You should only run it for a specific purpose, e.g. fault finding, looking for unknown process or something using a lot of CPU (but that can to all intents be found using the Task Manager for a lost less system resources.

When you are talking about only 512MB of RAM you have to be economical with running processes or you are going to be constantly swapping elements loaded into memory to the pagefile, this activity can cause avast to scan increasing cpu use, not to mention all this swapping in and out of the pagefile will have your hard disk working overtime.

I don't use Winpatrol or ProcessExplorer, only avast & OP Pro (latest). never had any problems (used also OP 2009 free, with no problems).

Thanks to all and DavidR however I have beem messing with this setup for almost 2weeks and have resolved myself that some software programs simply doesn't play well with others in some OS configurations.
I have uninstalled OP FW Pro and gone back to FREE version and "whalla" all work perfect
THanks again....we'll be back
