Hi,
I've been using the free version of Avast for a while now, and so far it's been pretty good. Unfortunately today when I installed the update, it started to behave very badly, pushing my HDD access to 100%. It was on a computer that I really need in a working state, so I had to uninstall it straight away before investigating exactly what was causing the problem.
From what I can remember Avast NG Frontend, Commandline and ngtool, and mft processes were causing most of the accesses, as was something under svchost, but I didn't check what. Superfetch was also started eating up a lot of resources.
The computer was a Dell laptop, running Win 8.1, with an i7 and 16GB of ram.
Do you guys think it would be possible to get Avast running on the laptop again?
Cheers,
Brian.
