Seriously. With Photoshop + Firefox + IM + Music open, everything works fine but with Avast running (not scanning just running) everything lags. How can I close this thing?
-
Durrr go to the task manager and click on processes and kill the avast process.
Im sure theres a better way but thats my suggestion
-
Switch to AVG, Avast is a sack of crap..

ummmm.....don't switch to AVG its a piece of crap?
if you need to temp disable avast right click the icon and hit stop on access protection, and that shuts down everything except the tray icon, which shouldn't be affecting your system.
i'd love to bet that there is much more junk running in the background and the problem isn't avast :P

Actually no :P I keep my process pretty empty. As empty as possible. And thanks, I'll do that.

i run avast, zone alarm, firefox, trillian, netmeter, transwin, automatic wallpaper changer, refreshlock, my wireless card's wireless manager, and Steam, and I can play 3d games like TF2 with no issues due to slowdown. and i have 1 gig of ram.
try what i said, and if you don't see a change, then it isn't avast. and even if you do see a change, it merely means you need to change your avast settings and make them better.
