Title: Launching Avast
Post by: ab021 on September 01, 2019, 08:49:55 PM: Good day. I want to ask if it is not possible to modify Avast Free to run first before Windows loads (as is loaded by Eset). Downloading Avast is the last, and if it is not loaded, the Internet connection does not work, which takes 2.5 minutes after the PC is switched on. Well thank you

Post by: ab021 on September 02, 2019, 02:13:16 PM: I have Avast Free ver. 07/19/2388
Windows 10 Pro builds 1903 64bit
Other protection - Windows firewall only
Before Avast, I used ESS
The late launch of Avast was also on the previous Windows 10 build
Maybe I have something wrong, but I don't know what.

Not following instruction accounts for 90% of all problems. :) (OT)

Yes, unfortunately there's nothing much we can do about that (except repeating it).
