Most of the time,antivirus or task killers can cause problems.Good to know it is fine now.

Indeed, I don't recomend antivirus for that and other issues, such as, connectivity issues, apps crashing, etc.

the same for me, firefox was so slow and froze after a few minutes

after frozing avast with titanium backup, navigation is possible again

did you tried another antivirus???

[Uliwooly]

I haven't seen any other antivirus that doesn't create some of this issues 

[rajinraj]

No i do not have any antivirus now...

But is it really okay to not have a security app in your phone. What if we catch a malware while surfing or installing an app. It will go undetected.
