I too am using Avast. I used AVG for a long time but with every update they seemed to become more and more bloat ware. I switched to Avast a number of months ago and so far no problems and I am very happy.

I should mention that I've ran Avast on many PCs with many different pc configurations and did not have a problem with it, does not conflict with anything and not a resource killer. However I must say I didnt have such results with NOD32, to be fair its extremely powerful however it caused close to 50 pc's to hang randomly while running with certain other software and certain different configurations. But I must mention all these tests I performed at work, on various workstation PC not gaming machines or FS machines, so as we all know no one PC is alike therefore you must see for your self I think.
Have been unable to post a reply all afternoon. Is this Avast causing problems. This is 4th try.

Ok maybe getting through now.I have typed several replies only to lose connection to this site whilst submitting the reply.I wonder is this a coincidence as I have also been having problems with my CP Flight MCP disconnecting all afternoon. I have been trying to assign LEDs using FS2Phidget and after many failed attempts I may have scrambled the computer! Maybe coincidence, maybe Avast only time will tell. All other FlightSim sites are working fine.

MCP was having some work done on this site the last couple of days.
There were some problems encountered in the last upgrade and its taken a couple of days to get it all straightened out.
If you are still having trouble with losing connection, then remove Avast and try again.
Seems to be some problem with posting - I can read ok but as soon as I go to post I loose all connectivity with the site... Will test on a non avast / Vista pc...
Had same problems on a non avast xp machine too...
Any ideas anyone???
Not sure but the site has been bouncing all day today. It's up for an hour, down for one, back and forth all day long.

Seems to be working fine now.

Still testing.............
