    firzen, I use Avast Internet Security since the first months of version 5. At the time I had noticed too slower browsing, but sincerely not anymore. Do you use only Firefox? Have you tried with other browsers?

    i do only use firefox, and havent tried other browsers yet, im gunna go through my trial and see if this slowdown goes away

    the firewall is kinda strange with application rules and the 5 notch volume like slider for different levels of internet access, not a big fan of it quite yet and wen i put it in ask mode, it doesnt seem to have any whitelist of apps
