    Avast a/v users....

    Wonder if someone(s) can do me a favor...

    Just started using Avast to test it out and I've found one annoying thing... there is now a folder (avast4/webshlock.txt) and the Windows Perflib_Perfdata_ file in my windows temp folder and both are in use and can't be deleted. Previously the Perflib_Perfdata_ was only found in C:\Documents and Settings\finkc\Local Settings\Temp.

    Now both of these are in both temp folders. Can you check and see if that's just me or is it normal with Avast?

    thanks.

    (I find it annoying because I use Windows/temp folder a lot to temporarily store files and the non-deletable new entries get in the way of fast file manipulations)

    Thanks. Figured it was the way it was supposed to be. I like Avast so far so I guess instead of not using it I'll create a new temp download folder to work in.

    (I do wish the GUI could be made with a more common/non-translated form of the english language though... it's a little awkward to understand the precise meaning of some of the settings)
