Finally, after extracting you can upload your own data to help other people extracting the same title later on (but that's up to you). By toggling on the switch next to Core shields you can easily stop all the shields protecting your computer from threats and malware. It also compares your converted files with the online database to see if the extraction was completely error-free.

For example, the windows update service can be disabled by selecting disable from the drop down menu. disabling for 10 minutes, for an hour, until the computer is restarted or disable the shields permanently. Step 2: Now, go to Avast shields and select one of the given options i.e. Have you used EAC with an active connection? Polling the online database to see if your disc is already cataloged can be very helpful - it keeps you from having to manually label your tracks (assuming you choose a reliable entry, sometimes you may have to try a few of them), and this can save a lot of time.

If you're still concerned about avast! interfering with the extraction, I'd choose the temporary disable right-click as mentioned above (just remember to turn it back on, or disable it for an hour, and then "re-disable" it again if need be).įYI, I'm running Windows XP Pro with 2GB of RAM, and besides avast!, I normally have at least one browser running (often two) at the same time I'm running EAC.īy the way, slightly off-topic: You mentioned that you will sometimes turn off your internet connection. Open Avast user interface>Settings>Antivirus uncheck, Enable DeepScreen. I probably wouldn't run a scan while I'm creating the MP3 files, but that's just because the scan can use enough resources (system & disk) to slow down EAC. If you use third-party antivirus software on your PC, you may need to temporarily disable your antivirus protection before installing an Avast application. I know your concern isn't just when using EAC, but as an example, I use EAC somewhat frequently (especially to convert my audiobook CDs to MP3 files), and have left avast! running without any problems (and when converting an audiobook, I may process 10-20 discs in a row).
