Has anyone experienced crashes in games with avast antivirus? I most commonly get crashes with Steam and Oblivion. I know you're supposed to turn it off when playing games, but that's easier said than done.
I normally select "Stop On-Access Protection" from their menu (before playing a game), and also go to troubleshooting where I check "disable avast self-defence module". This seems to help but I still get the odd crash to desktop at random times when playing.
I have a Dell P4 3GHz (1.5GB Ram) with WinXP sp3 and a Radeon X1950 Pro (256MB). It is well-ventilated with a large external desk fan I use at the back of the pc to blow away hot air, so I don't think it's overheating. I just wondered if I am disabling the antivirus properly or whether you can't disable it fully?
Thanks
