Hi,
Recently a game I play, Civilization 5, ran into interminably long load times, making the game unplayable. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it to try to fix the problem. Then I ran into an Installation Error (#55) from Steam, the client or service (?) the game runs through, which meant I couldn't even launch the game anymore.
Both of these issues were resolved by uninstalling Avast! (version 6.0.1203) and reinstalling the previous (free) version (6.0.1125). From other posts I've seen, Civilization 5 is not the only game affected.
Hopefully there's a way to fix this so it doesn't frustate hundreds of others like me.
Also: now that I've reinstalled the older version, and set it to only manually update the program (engine and virus definitions still on auto), will avast still keep my computer safe?
Cheers.
