Title: Browser very slow to load
Post by: REDACTED on April 26, 2015, 09:40:17 PM

After starting my XP computer, using Avast Free Antivirus, when I try to start a browser like Firefox or Chrome, it takes FOREVER for the browser to load -- a least a minute or two. During this time, the Avast logo is alternately spinning and still in the tray.  Once the browser finally starts, it won't go to a URL or let me search for another minute or two. What is it doing all this time? And why is it preventing the browser from starting?  Thanks.

No I've been using it for several  months.

P.S. It's nearly impossible to read the Verification images.
