Title: High CPU Usage
Post by: LeonX on January 18, 2014, 04:27:33 AM

The Web Shield is causing AvastSvc.exe to use up 90% or higher CPU. It started about two days ago. Anyone know why?

Which will leave you unprotected .........

You need to find out why this is happening on your system.

What OS ? Machine specs ? Which avast version? What other security software ?
