| 566476 | 2007-07-07 23:52:00 | I saw that Cicero, it was a bit of a worry. Fat load of good NOD32 was for you, don't you think? :rolleyes: One has to wonder Foxy,it has been good up till then,about 8 months. |

| 566477 | 2007-07-08 00:58:00 | The only time I've tried Avast was for a client who has a file server and about 30 workstations. Avast kept corrupting data for their accounting software so had to remove it. This was the paid version and not the free one. |

| 566478 | 2007-07-08 02:02:00 | This time around the AMON protection option was disabled upon installation which has made a huge difference to using CardFile - it is no longer sluggish but as quick as it should be . How do you manage to buy from a US site? When I click on the Purchase button I get redirected to the NZ site with NZ prices . :confused: I disable DMON but leave AMON on . You cancel the bossy redirection and click on Purchase - International sites . Pick one . |

| 566479 | 2007-07-08 04:56:00 | I disable DMON but leave AMON on . Are you sure you haven't got that around the wrong way? I have AMON disabled and DMON enabled . With AMON enabled my CardFile runs worse than someone trying to run up Baldwin Street with a thick coating of ice on it . You cancel the bossy redirection and click on Purchase - International sites . Pick one . Yeah, I discovered that was the secret but had to do it pretty quick smart . :rolleyes: . |

AMON is the main activity scanner that is SHOULD always be running to protect you from viruses . It scans every file as it is used . You might want to try enable AMON again but put your cardfile exe and data file in the exclusions list and see if that helps the speed problem . |

| 566482 | 2007-07-08 10:05:00 | I use avast free home edition and find it great, but I do have a cripe. I installed it on a friends PC and ran it it found lots of viruses. But... Then I ran Trend micro Housecall and it found lots more that avast missed. What!!! I tried to disinfect the computer with TM housecall but it could only remove a few. So I installed AVG and that found the viruses TM Housecall found and removed some of them. I had to manually remove the rest. So I was a bit disappointed that Avast didn't find these viruses. Maybe the Pro version would have detected them, but still... AVG and TM did?? However I do still use avast. I like its update method as well. |

With AMON enabled my CardFile runs worse than someone trying to run up Baldwin Street with a thick coating of ice on it . AMON - file system monitor DMON - MS Office document scanner EMON - MS Outlook Scanner I don't want it scanning MS anything . Files seemed a good idea to me . I don't have a problem with it, whats your system specs??? |

| 566484 | 2007-07-09 04:12:00 | Yep, I know what they are and what they do . I don't have a problem with Office stuff being scanned, they have not been slowed down . It's just CardFile that NOD has issues with . :rolleyes: System isn't grunty by today's standards but there's ample enough power for everything with an AMD Athlon64 3200 processor and 1GB DDR400 RAM . Anyway, all is well now that I have sorted it out with CYaBro's suggestions . :thumbs: |
