There's a serious performance bug in avast! antivirus.
avast! slows down Windows Vista.
avast! causes a lot of hard drive activity every time you launch an
application although it's already cached in RAM, it seems avast to be
incompatible with Vista's Superfetch.
Try to disable avast and your Windows Vista will fly!!!

Is This With Or Without Service Pack One? Somebody Posted Earlier That All
of The Problems He/She Was Having With Super Fetch Was Fixed When He/She
Installed Service Pack One From MSDN/Tech Net Top Subscriber Download's,
Just FYI.

I have been using Vista and Avast since day one.. with it or with out it..
Vista is basically the same

Yes I know how to disable avast, but even without avast installed at all
Vista is more or less the same.

I havent noticed any huge impact on Vista performance from Avast out of the
ordinary...

Vista is slow to begin with .. even with SP1 its much improved but its still
slow.. lol

I've got Avast on my Vista box and have put it on lots of clients' machines
and have experienced no difficulties whatsoever. Perhaps you have something
else running that is conflicting? You might want to check on Avast's user
forums if they have any.

I have used Avast in my customers' computers using XP and Vista for ages.

Absolutely no reported problems.
It is 32bit and 64bit Vista compatible.

I notice no performance impact at all from Avast!
If it weren't for the little rotating "A" in the system tray i wouldn't know
it was there.

Windows Vista will never fly! Nor does it "run". Walks pertty fast though.

Just plug MSDN every time you can. Makes you feel important to play with
the "big boys". Who really cares where you get SP1? Does it really matter
telling everyone when you install something, when you download something?
Try getting a job.

I agree with Mick's comment. Mikk's comments are bogus.

I Was Just Simply Asking Whether He Had Service Pack 1 Or Service Pack 0
Installed On His Computer, Because I Have Been Using Both Avast 4.7
Home/Pro/Server Edition On All Sorts Of Different Workstation/Server
Configurations With No Problems Whatsoever, Just FYI.

Absolutely!

The most recent version of Avast is no longer compatible with Vista -
slows it to almost a stop... for whatever reasons.

Ran it successfully for years - before the most recent update - but, no
longer!

I'm now a happy AVG user.

And... yes... Vista does fly without Avast!

Interesting, I did not notice any slowdown on vista64 home premium.

Well he said since the last update and I have not seem my home machine
for a week, but it was working very well and less nagging than Avira. It
was AVG that gave me most trouble a few month back which is why I tried
Avira.

Actually... not at all...

Avast was fine with Vista 2 years ago... even up until 2 days ago.

Its the most recent version, with all updates to Vista and Avast that
made the difference.

Prior to that Avast was "as good as it gets." But... something has
gone horribly wrong with the most recent version.

Ah... just so you know... the loss of 50 IQ points would still leave me
at 148... substantially above all but about .5% of others.
