Issue solved with Beta 7.0.1412Hi guys, let me say, I had been using avast for a long time now and like it a lot, now with V7 I am facing a problem
I am connected to net via a Modem, but I need to establish a connection by using windows inbuilt PPPOE dialer(broadband). Now when the LAN is connected but no connection has been established there is a huge delay in launching apps, any apps from anywhere, once launched, it runs fine.
The delay is sort of universal, same 5/6 secs delay with all apps, now I also have Comodo Firewall, I am aware of the issue between avast web shield and comodo, so I have set avast web shield to scan only browser traffic, but this has not fixed it.
When I disable all avast shields the problem disappears, so this has let me to pinpoint the problem to avast
Problem also disappears if I disconnect the LAN cable as there is no connection and avast(I presume) does not try to query anything(whatever it is trying to query)
If the net is connected there is also a delay, slight delay but nevertheless noticeable, the fastest with LAN cable disconnected, or with avast shields disabled.
I have disabled avast web rep service and auto sandbox.
Help me fix this, the problem is with avast, this much I am sure, is this a known bug or something?Win 7 x64, Sp1(updated)
Comodo firewall
Avast 7
Also I have a fast machine, so performance is not an issue, so don't blame this on hardware. My net connection is around 1Mbps, but I have significant delay to foreign countries(400 ms+).
