Thanks for this information. It might help other users who have reported similar issues with MinimWatch locking up.

If the problem is with MinimWatch, I would need to see the MinimWatch log (on your PC or Mac), not the MinimServer log (on your NAS).

Ok here's what happens when Avast is running.

Start Minimwatch, it turns green and i can look at minimwatch properties and log etc. I can close Minimwatch at this point without issue.

Start Minimwatch and if i try to open Minimserver properties, the properties window does not appear and im unable to do anything else in Minimwatch. I cant close it, and it doesnt even appear in task manager but stays in system tray. Im having to reboot the pc to get it to go.

Nothing is written into the log, in fact i cant find Minimwatch.log on my pc, which is Win 8.1 netbook, but nothing appears in Minimwatch log within Minimwatch. When i look after the reboot it only contains info following the reboot not previous to it.

After the pc reboot, if i restart Minimwatch it just sits there greyed out in the task bar. I then exit it and try to reopen Minimwatch and nothing happens, no icon at all.

Not sure how i got out of this before, but will try deleting Minmserver.log on the NAS ans restarting Minimserver. Will see

Ah OK its those little java applets i have to kill. Anyway not sure what i can supply to you. I just have to make sure Avast is disabled before i start Minimwatch
