| 685353 | 2008-07-04 22:45:00 | I've just started using Avast anti virus. I've found that when it is scanning in the background it is stopping access to some websites; the window opens but then the computer freezes. Disabling Avast stops the problem. Can I adjust the settings or is there anything else that can be done? Thanks |

| 685355 | 2008-07-04 22:52:00 | Thanks Speedy, I presume this turns it off, but that it's desirable if possible to keep it running. Is this a common situation with Avast? JR |

| 685356 | 2008-07-04 22:56:00 | It turns the web scanner part of Avast off, not Avast. Avast is still running / active It can happen sometimes If one of the services lag or use a lot of ram, terminate it. The other services under on access protection are what Avast deals with, and uses. If you select stop on access protection then Avast is disabled. You'll notice the balloon tip pop up |

| 685358 | 2008-07-04 23:32:00 | maybe you could set the virus scan going when you go up for dinner or something. so it can still do its thing without annoying you or any other user. | acronum (13577) | ||
