Copy, BakupTo, Win7 and AVAST = trouble.

[SkyFrontier]

Hi.

This won't fall into the 'bugs' section as I'm yet to find the culprit, but it's certainly something worth sharing.

I often (yes, often on *several* machines) see XY copy actions freezing the program, even on fresh installs. Learned to live with that.

But yesterday I saw a dirty one: XY froze, tried to force shutdown - unsuccessful, expected - but on reboot I couldn't start
XYplorer anymore, neither from that location where the frozen exe resides, nor from any place else!

Terrified (working on several stuff, all XY-based), it took me a time to pinpoint a screen in which I read "Avast - DeepScreen", feature
I promptly disabled to see the problem go.

Can't say if it was the anomalous behavior that triggered Avast to confine XY.

*Other machines with no AV software had the same copy-freeze problem*, leaving me suspicious on Win7 itself - or XY.

AVAST could be contacted on this issue, Don.
