Are you using Avast 5 or 4? I can't seem to find a P2P shield in Avast 5.
Avast 5 Pro. There is one.
Are you using Avast 5 or 4? I can't seem to find a P2P shield in Avast 5.
Find it here :
Thanks for the clarification Eli. I forgot that I never installed the P2P shield, since I never use P2P software.
I think you just hit the nail on the head there Andavari, what works well on some peoples machines, doesn't work well on other peoples.
Avast ( which as we all know is a very good av) doesn't seem to agree with my machine, it gives it indigestion I think!
Avira gives no problems, but I know doesn't work for other people.
MSE works good for me and Emsisoft anti-malware which I'm trialing now is ok-ish will have to wait and see I think.
The avast shield issue is an interesting one, keep us updated Fluffy.

I don't know what it is with Avast but on my system it just created problems, on my mothers laptop it ran perfectly fine. Could be down to some drivers, etc.
I don't think Alwil (the makers of Avast) have completely sorted the issue with Aladdin/Sentinel HASP License Manager which during the initial public release of Avast 5 would cause a BSOD during startup if the two were on the same computer, which would result into no choice but to uninstall Avast 5 in safe mode. Still with whatever fix they've did I don't think the two merrily co-exist but instead are somewhat bickering when on the same system however that HASP License Manager is required to use some uber expensive commercial software so Avast 5 being freeware just had to go.
