Why your Windows becomes very very super slow mo with Avast as your antivirus?

.: Three (3) big updates for me this week.

1. Firefox 4 beta 9. 
2. Proprietary software updates. 
3. Program update for Avast 5.0.677 to 5.1.889. 

Mozilla Firefox 4 beta 9 : The second last beta for Firefox?

First thing first, Firefox 4 beta. I am quite a big fan of portable Fx, so updating and using the new Fx4b9 is a must. Plus I can send feedback about my preferred sites whether it is working correctly or not. ;-)

The question is, why use portable Fx when you can install it directly into your PC?
Urm... I dunno.. hahaha~   X-D

Then it's time to check my Firefox plugins - is it updated to the latest version or not? Nope, I had to re-install my new plugins: Adobe Flash player 10.1.102.64 (2.66 MB), Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U23 (15.3 MB), and the new Adobe Reader X (35.09 MB). Whoa, the new Adobe incorporates the SS-factor (SS is SocialSharing) and had enabled 'comments', wow, now even PDFs can go social, oh yeahhh~~  :-P

And while on my way to happily blogging and researching, I noticed that my PC becomes super super slow mo.. And you should know what I feels inside!

Dramatic Eagle.

Tsk, I hate this. I wonder is it because I use the old Fx4b7 and update it to Fx4b8 and to Fx4b9, and this is why it becomes slow? So, I download a new and clean Fx4b9 and reinstall my preferred Firefox add-ons again. Nope, it still slow...

My slow definition here means that when I opens a Youtube video, it only "loading" about 3 times or none at all for the video to finish. And my Facebook games should loads almost in a blink of and eye, but this time the slowessness is ridiculous! Fx4b9? Why you treat me like this???   :-(

Avast 5.1.889?

Then, somehow, like an intuition, I remembered just now I had updating my Avast 5 program from version 5.0.677 to 5.1.889 and I haven't restart my PC yet. From my past experience with AVG update, maybe Avast 5 is the culprit...

PC restarts..

Now, with some CCleanering, RevoUninstalling, and...... Yes! Now I know why. When updating Avast 5 program, please and always restart your PC so your Avast will start using the new antivirus engine. If not, you're toast, like me... My previous experience is much more dramatic, I can't even click anything from my PC because my AVG is not updated. I even cannot open my Firefox, but this Avast 5 program update still let me open my Fx, but with AVG last time, no, it very is time consuming because you had to wait and wait and waits..

So, the moral of this post is.. Always restarts your PC when they ask you to. Don't delay-delay~~
:-P


Ooigi.blog: "Why can't program updating be as silent as virus definition update? PC restart I can understand why, but can we change it like they way virus definition automatically updates itself?"
:-? (Need to develop that technology first...)
