If so, just switch the the scan-on-demand free version.
That's what I have done for now. Just made the paid version act like the freebie. And after doing so, all my freezes/definition issues are now worked out.

I like the IP Address blocking the real-time protection offers. And I'd like to have it back. I noticed this morning that Avast and MBAM will be communicating to work out this issue very soon. So I should be back in business again...
