I know the latest program update is causing some lag...there is another program update next week thats gonna try fix these issues and memory leaks...but yet i recommend to install full avast rather holding of a partial protection and decreasing the the product's power Smile

Earth uninstalled it before the latest version was out. I also have skipped the last 2 builds on one of the laptops I got here.

When the updates arrives all the other computer will automatically upgrade to that version, and good to know you know what's happening in the avast-scene. Biggrin

I won't be installing avast for my laptop. Cheers.

Earth's version was only Webshield and Network Shield.

Mine had a bit more but usage still low while on idle.

RE: Review - Earth's Custom Avast! Free approach
Probably compatible. give it a test run. I myself dont really need a combo so I wouldnt be the best person to advise. Will change my real time later on to Forticlient Lite as well since it is all I need for my gaming needs Smile

i tried it and it doesn't fit to my system, avast service is around 30mb WS, too high for the purpose i expected.

RE: Review - Earth's Custom Avast! Free approach
weird, on both images, it was way less. suppose it has to do with the actual system itself then.

would AVG Linkscanner do the trick for ya?
