Yes! Webrep working on 64bit Vista, I knew Avast would get it fixed!

Also full scan on my laptop went from 31 minutes to 15:37 !!!

I have moved the discussion of the XP problem (shutdown and continuous scanning of files) to a new thread, since they where spread on two threads and somehow I think the problems might be linked (as both seems to have with the "file shield"). The new thread is at:  http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=73164.0

I have a problem in my Windows Xp Home computer, the problem is that PrivateFirewall never stops to ask to allow AvastSvc.exe... I am going to uninstall this version an re-install and let you know if it solves the problmems since it is impossible to work like this, my coputer does not let me anything.

See attached...rm

I will have to go back to the last stable no beta version, I really can work with this beta since privatefirewall never stops asking me to allow avastsvc.exe

Is this a bug? When this version of avast detects a virus the pop up and sound takes like 3-5 seconds to play. (Might not be for other users but for me this might be a bug) ?

I am just a novice with PF, trying it out on an old Vista computer with Avast! 6 Free,  and don't have this problem.  Are you running on the "Office" profile?  Does it help to go to PF/Process Monitor, right click, and set avastsvc.exe to "allow" there?

I have been using PF for a long time and I am using the last version, my problem is only in my XP computer, see my signature. I don't experience this problem in my Windows 7 computer...
I am using the home profile and setting avastsvc.exe to allow does not help either.

I guess the problem is because something is not digitally signed, that is what PF says..rm

I see there is a new PF 7.0.23.4 that fixed some bugs; probably worth an update.  I don't have XP to try anything with.  Also worth asking PF support; they seem to respond to trouble tickets very rapidly

Outlook 2007 Win7/64. Outlook crashes when Avast detects Malware.  Malware blocked Win32 Trojen-Gen (DHL label.exe) Popup opens says moved to chest, then crashed outlook.  Reopen outlook and it again detects the Malware and again crashes.

Is there any dump available after the crash? Or an message in event log?
