lag when clicking

[Valv]

I have a lag problem. whenever I cast a spell and a spell finishes my game will freeze for ~.5sec. This also happens when i pick up an item from my inventory or loot.

Is anyone familiar with this?

I use windows XP
haven't done anything to try and fix it nor have I set up my router/firewall for SoD, I don't have latency issues its just when i do things that i get the freeze.

do you use avast anti virus? it tends to do this.

Try turning off resident shield in antivirus if you have it on.
