![]() ![]() It is also possible to clone an existing good hard drive to new just for backup purposes.ĭirect link to todo easeus backup software: For example, should your hard drive ever fail or die, you can use a previously restored image to place that image on a new hard drive to replace the old, and be back up and running in minutes, as I said before. Imaging a drive will pay enormous dividends for the future. Hi mchain - thanks for the advice about Imaging - as a matter of interest I know you use Norton ghost - but do you know of a good Free Imagining software - as all I have done before is use restore - and to be fair - its been a fairly fast full restore as I am on win 7 pro -indecently - I would want to use this to store offline with a bootable DVD etc - and this might sound like a daft comment but as my HD is 1 TB - will I have to use more than one DVD as each DVD is only 4.6 GB !!!! - the reason I want to store off line is not only for security but also to avoid the problem not being able to get it I E - via internet if my crash effects my internet connection I can not get the back upĪs to all the other comments here I want to thank everyone - for taking there time to give feed back and advice - as a newbe - a site like this is a god send - and if I spot any other problems here - ( as I will be coming back quite regularly from now on )-that ring a bell for me - I will defiantly - tell them how I got around it - and hope it helps them as much as you all have helped meĪs to all the other comments here I want to thank everyone - for taking there time to give feed back and advice - as a newbe - a site like this is a god send - and if I spot any other problems here - ( as I will be coming back quite regularly from now on )-that ring a bell for me - I will defiantly - tell them how I got around it - and hope it helps them as much as you all have helped MARIO 58, I use Norton Ghost to image there are other free imaging programs if you wish to use them. I am sorry users posting here have had the problems they have had. An image can also completely recover from an active virus infection no trace of that infection will be found after an image restore. Using restore does work, but not as well as an image. Much less frustration for everyone that way. I think Avast! strives to be the cutting edge for a/v software with each upgrade pushing the envelope is a mark of leadership and thus showing the direction a/v protection needs to go.īest strategy here is to always image your system before you upgrade recovery from a failed upgrade will take only minutes instead of hours, just so you know. ![]() ZA, IMO, is behind the curve for state-of-the-art firewall software. I think one should be flexible enough to consider running other security software if need be. It depends on what security software one is running. Unfortunately, that has happened here, but then again, it may also work well with no problems whatsoever. Just because it worked well in the past does not mean the new version will work at all in the user's current configuration. Hope the tech teams come up with a fix fast as I'm quite sure the latest version of avast is the source of these problems.never did I face any such problems in the past.and the time span would be around 5 yrsĮvery time Avast! upgrades their software, they will, and do, introduce new features, that may well conflict with existing software on a user's system. I hope I'm not being lulled into a false sense of security using an old avast program The virus definitions update automatically My workaround (if that may be called so) was to install avast in safe mode and turn the virus definitions to auto but program update to manual. I need both and have got used to these so am unwilling to dispense with either I use zonealarm free firewall and tried to uninstall it and then everything was ok.but I've been using ZA and avast free for the last 5 yrs and the two worked very fine simultaneously. ![]() After updating to avast free and on restarting the pc icons appeared but start menu, taskbar everything was rendered inoperative. For me the experience was very similar to what many posters have related. ![]()
