yep… as former mentioned… I disable 95% of these bloodware coming with Avast and thus I had never an issue, but still a good protection. I can only recommend to disable all that useless tools/bloodware which comes with Avast and/or each other so called Anti-Virus-“Suite”'s. What users need is a good Anti-Vir-Protection, may be with Browser and Mail-Check and nothing else… No own own firewall, no sandboxes, no real sites, no extra remote protection, nothing with clean-up in name , also no auto software updater, performance optimizer, passwort tools, document protection… nothing from that useless things.
These companies want only justify the extrem overpriced products with this additional stuff and suggest that "you need it " . What happens is very often nothing else as trouble and these kind of trouble where you need a long time to find out that it was the d…n Anti-Vir-Suite.
