Every time (and I mean every time, regardless of what website I'm on) I start typing something (such as a reply on a forum) avant.exe CPU usage shoots up to 50% and it freezes. If I leave it it comes back, but the usage stays at 50% and it will re-freeze if I attempt to continue posting.
I first had this problem with b41 (which had been fine until a few days ago), but I'm still getting it with b43.
I am not having the same problem with Chrome, Firefox or IE8.
i have the same issue and it only does it when a bazillion letters are typed in a row.
I remember what happened to **** it up too ... I ran Ad-Aware and it removed a spyware thing , I forget the exact name of it but it was something similar to "keyboard stroke memory" and was a Microsoft file which was something like C:\windows/microsoft then ??? forget now.
It still does it even after uninstalling Avant, dumping cookies, dumping temp file etc.
Everything else works fine on the computer, IE8, any other thing to enter text in.
Only Avant is messed up and I am computer savvy, i cannot figure it out or fix it.
I even used system restore which did not work either.
I should add that my other PCs here Avant works fine and no issues. Just on my laptop with Vista Basic 32 bit OS
Not sure what is causing it, I even tried to backward install an older Avant setup exe and it did not fix it.
i downloaded your newest version and reinstalled after uninstalling with a reboot to make sure a fresh setup installed and still no luck.
I am actually typing all of this in Microsoft word and pasting it into your forum text box to avoid a 30 second to 1 minute lag time for the typed text to show up.
Hope this helps. I checked my log file for Ad-Aware and cannot find what I know I saw.
Copying and pasting from word works, no lag but who wants to do that all the time everywhere online?
