Corel X6/RDWorks V8/Avast Antivirus Don't Play Well Together

[Linn Meyers]

Couldn't get files to function properly or at all, until I figured out Avast doesn't like some of the DLL's associated with Corel X6. Couldn't get files to run even with just RDWV8, until I uninstalled Avast Antivirus. All good now.

Just wanted to pass this on as tech support for my machine had no idea this was an issue.

I've been using AVG Free for more than 10 years with very good success.

That's what I'm using now. Behaves much better. Was weird cuz it only affected a few files at first. Whatever didn't need one particular .dll Can't remember which one. I think it was in Corel .

I've been using Avast and X6 for 2 years without problem under Win7 32 bit

Hmmm, running Avast on my main machine and it seems to have no issues with X5...

Could be that those particular dlls were actually infected..

Using combination of Corel X6 with Avast free (v 7.0.1506) without any problems here either.

Be sure not to overlook this thought!
