How to Disable Avast Antivirus
http://www.ehow.com/how_5110387_disable-avast-antivirus.html
You can also right-click the System Tray icon and choose Avast Shields
Control and disable everything with one click, rather than having to do
each service separately, as the above article advises.
jim said:Well, thanks to both Nil and Bruce. I found the shields "disable" almost
immediately but it does not turn off the updater, for example. I have a
low power device (1.73gig intel processor, single core) and AVAST just
updated during this message and messed up the audio streaming -- it did
not drop the hi-def station -- and locked the cursor from typing -- and
then gives me that cheery , talking balloon message. In other words, i
want to kill the bugger unless i want it. <G>
(I am paying for 12 megabits down, but sure am not getting it, but i
understand i am not the only one by far in that category.)

It is att / uverse -- DSLAM (strain of DSL)Centurylink? I keep getting the ads for "up to12mbps" DSL, but they can only
offer me 1.5. Except for one time they told me I could get 3mbps, until they
found out I was already a phone customer, and suddenly it was back to 1.5.

A few hours ago a friend wanted to check my dl/ul and via speakeasy and it
came back 10.34/1.29 and then he immediately tried a youtube video which
stuttered as it played.... That dl speed (if it was consistent and real)
should be able to play 4 normal A/V streamings at a time.

"Comcast, intentionally slowed peer-to-peer (P2P) communications.
Still other companies have begun to use deep packet inspection
to discriminate against P2P, FTP, and online games"
As long as there are deep packet inspection boxes,
not all traffic will be treated the same. (Youtube could
receive a lower priority, in transit.)

You can use standalone flash content, to prove it isn't a
computer problem. Unzip this and load "fullScreenSourceRectDemo.html"
in your browser.
You can also bring up Task Manager, and
verify the percentage CPU used while the flash content
is playing (full screen, or windowed in the browser). On
my old computer, without a hardware scaler in the video
card, full screen took a lot of cycles. On this computer,
Flash runs at about 20% or less, of CPU.

My output is at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14875021/ytt.jpg
lots of drops but it was playing smoothly and i went to fullscreen and it
continued to be smooth. Interesting how low my ISP rated, but then there
was My rating -- left me pretty confused there....btw, the video itself
would be nice for someone with insomnia....

I noticed another thing, which was your FPS is listed as 24,
and mine is listed as 30FPS. Does that imply they're doing
a different test on your link, than on mine ?
