Hey gamers -- Avast 2017 came with an all-new Game Mode. I've used it on a lower-powered PC I use for light work/light gaming and it definitely helps (not much CPU/GPU to go around on that machine) plus it's easy to use. My opinions, of course!
I'm curious on the other end, though -- have any...

I'm at the edge of giving up. No matter what I do, what I uninstall or install, how many antivirus scans I do, how closely I watch for what's causing spikes, I can't fix these performance issues. Huge swathes of my CPU and Memory usage are lost on totally invisible processes. I have 8gb of RAM...

Hi,
Does anyone know please what rules should be created in Windows Firewall in order for NOD32 Antivirus to update, considering that intentionally, manually all outbound traffic is blocked, and all the rules should be created manually.
Thank you.

Hi
After the Widows 10 update today, my computer started acting weird again.
I've spent the last couple of days getting it right.

I have been getting frequent BSODS. I uninstalled my antivirus and did a reinstall that kept files. This helped but I still get random crashes. I am not overclocking or altering anything. I also made sure the system and all drivers were updated.
