After installing Avast, the familiar temporary freeze was back - such as when I download a file in Firefox or browse a folder in Windows Explorer.Īt first I was reluctant to believe it.
Before installing Avast, I had little to no computer performance issues. The second thing was to install avast! Free Antivirus. However, I came to the realization Avast was also causing those temporary freezes.Īfter I reformatted my computer, and the first thing I did was install Firefox. And, to be fair, the bloatware did play its part yesterday after reformatting my computer to get rid of the bloatware, I noticed an increase in performance. I blamed this poor performance on bloatware that came with my computer - bloatware I foolishly didn’t remove. (Laziness is too stronk.) But it was bad enough to be bloody annoying. It wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t deal with it, which is why I put up with it for eighteen months. You see I’ve been plagued with an issue for the past eighteen months or so: my computer would often temporarily freezes whenever browsing for or downloading files or opening programs. Yesterday, however, I made the switch back to Avira.
I originally started with Avira, but over three years ago switched over to Avast due to Avast’s superior features in their free version. So I ditched paid anti-virus for free ones. Soon after, I discovered something I never could fathom before: free anti-virus/anti-malware programs, specifically Avira, Avast, and AVG. The first ever anti-virus/anti-malware program I used was Kaspersky, a 1-year 3-user license I purchased from Wal-Mart for $60.
