Hi to all!
I think Avast 4 Home is a Free Home user good product, but... it have a problem...
I'm a networking student, and i use my XP Home Edition with SP2 for my exercises..
When i try with a simple tool as YAPS or Superscan or something else, to scan a PUBLIC IP locate in Internet, or a PRIVATE IP locate in my LAN, this programs says that the REMOTE IP has severals ports OPEN, for example the numbers: 21, 25, 110, 143 ......
But that's wrong! ALL the ports in that pc or thats Pcs are closed!
So, i spent a lot of time to understand what was going on...and after i did UNISTALLED Avast..... that's IT!!!
After that, XP and Yaps, without AVAST says that the remote ports are all CLOSED...
I tried to STOP all the AVAST services, but still remain a problem, XP with AVAST turn off, says that a remote IP have just 21 port open...
I repeat, if i will active again AVAST, all the other ports of the remote IP mentioned..will be shown as open
For FIX this trouble, i MUST deinstall AVAST, no other WAY!
So.... i still remain without AVAST, i hope this post will help, but i need another antivirus.
Thanx anyway
