A i borrowed a copany laptop and installed the following for a few days

Firefox

Thunderbird

Avast - anti virus


and now one of the $1k programs doesn't work

i'm sure these programs wouldn't effect this

any idea on what would have happened?

What is the $1,000 program name LOL thats expensive.

If you want to pin anything blame Avast never blame the fox.

its a program for air balancing

so avast might have done it?

[Tyler1989]

I have no clue I just don't like avast.... Can't you just install the program again.

[neversleeps]

how doesnt it work? and check the event viewer

[furtivefelon]

Personally, i have never used avast, though, if it does some firewall, i might have blocked ur program from going to internet if it accesses internet..

otherwise, i don't see how those three program might affect your computer...

[Tyler1989]

Avast is an anti virus program.

Uninstall everything you personally put on and pray it resolves the conflict.

[boo]

ok i'll try that

thx

avasti might think that the program is a malicous code and disable function to that program. you will have those problems with AntiViruses and expensive programs (because it is a rare program that most people won't use) sometimes. Most programs that expensive will work with Norton A/V however, and I never recommend norton as it is a resource hog, but that may be your solution
