I would like to say that I have perfectdisk pro version 12 install and I dont have any issue. What is the bug?

The only issue I have is if I install with avast 6.0.1203, I will get a BSOD. But if I upgrade from the previous version, there is no BSOD.

The problem seems to be only on XP systems.
Do you have XP..??

:-\I updated to this version by the avast programme notification(ver. 6.01000). But after updated, my window works slow like worm! (I'm using Win XP) so I uninstalled it and reinstall back the ver 6.01 with my old installer and my Windows gets back to normal now. I will wait till the next ver. ~Hope can solve this problem  :'(

Looks like I'm not alone in this...

Do you guys have Perfect Disk installed..??

No, I don't. And my PC runs on XP SP3 as I stated earlier. I've never used Perfect Disk and in fact I have no defrag software installed at all, though I do defrag my machine every now and then with portable Auslogics

Well, sorry then.
That's the only bug I know about on XP atm.

Hello Friends,

Which Avast versions are still supported?  I updated to V.6 and it caused crashes on my computer. I was running 5.1.866 without problems before that.  Somehow, one of the computer users in the household accidentally updated to V.6 again and crashes occurred again.  I have since uninstalled Avast so I can use the computer and would like to know which Avast versions are still supported so I can successfully use the program again.  Thanks!\

UPDATE:
Thank you all but I was able to find a resource for the version that works on my computer and life is good again.  Thanks to the staff who put up with us cranky people who seek assistance.  We mustn't forget the program is FREE and we use it at our own risk or satisfaction.   I can't believe all of the mean-spirited posts I found while visiting this website but you have you my heartfelt thank you for what you do!!

I do NOT want to install the newest update UNTIL ALL bugs are found and removed.  I use this computer to work from home as an independent contractor  and it is critical that my computer always  be operating well.  I am not at liberty to be at the mercy of an update that hasn't had all bugs removed yet.  

Avast has caused many issues in the past for me after previous program updates.  I run XP Professional w/ SP3 - I had Vista removed from this computer when I purchased it and had  XP Professional installed in it's place.  Windows 7 was too big an OS (took up too much space)  and I didn't want it on here.

How do I ensure that Avast does NOT automatically update the software?   I have auto update on for virus definitions.

Please advise .. this is important.

Thank you so much! :-D


EDITED TO ADD:
NOTE: I just changed my Avast from "Ask when update is available" to "Manual update"  - Will THIS ensure that the update is not downloaded and installed with virus definition updates (which are on automatic)? 

What else do I need to do to ensure that I MANUALLY CHOOSE when to install this update? 

thanks again!

Thank you so much Asyn!  I really appreciate you confirming this for me.   I will install once i see the major  "debugging" has completed.

Hey there,

Sorry if I'm insisting but has anyone noticed the issue related to the Windows XP's Disk Cleanup utility I had reported here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=81028.msg664305#msg664305

Cheers,
T.

Ok, so there shouldn't be any problem then.

Hi,

I installed this new program update the same day it came out.

Yesterday I saw a little issue when I opened the Win XP's disk cleanup utility.
After opening the utility and choosing which HD I want to clean up, the application lags for a couple of seconds or even more before it eventually starts calculating the amount of bytes to clear (and then asking for user's OK).

If I disable all the Avast! shields from  the tray icon, the utility works normally without any lags.

As I said, I thinks this behaviour only started a couple of days ago (maybe yesterday) so I was wondering if it may be related to some recent virus definitions update...

System Info:

Windows XP Pro SP3 (32 bit)

Avast! Free AV 6.0.1203 (Behaviour Shield removed)
Online Armor Free 5.0.0.1097
*Security software mutually excluded


Cheers,
T.

P.S. I'm not sure if the English name of this OS utility is "disk cleanup utility", but I hope you understand what I mean - by the way sorry for my English.


It's been so long since I used the utility that I forgot where to find it. I normally use CCleaner. When I did eventually find it and click on it I got the hourglass for about 5 seconds and then it opened and started to "compress old files". I remember that always took a while since I play games that have single files over 2gigs in size. I cancelled it and I really don't remember how long it used to take to start up.

Thanks so much for your reply, Dch48.

Immediately after opening the utility and choosing which HD I want to clean up, the application lags for more than a couple of seconds (no hourglass though) before it eventually starts calculating the amount of bytes to clear.
I can notice the difference if I disable all the Avast! shields from  the tray icon: then everything works normally without any lags.

I've noticed the same behaviour also with my father's laptop (same software, different hardware)

Hi!

It's seems to me there are some conflict with FutureMark: 3D Mark 11 VGA Benchmark Utility application. I have to turn off Avast Shields (turn off Avast) because it's always blocking start the benchmark utility.

Yes, definetly there's some conflict with: FutureMark 3D Mark 11 v1.6.02

Please fix it!

Thanks!

When Avast Shields stopped for instance 10 minutes, etc... 3D Mark 11 working well, but if Avast Shields On it's almost every time blocking this app. (Start the Benchmark part of this program I mean!)
