Lately Avast's com.avast.MacAvast.MAD process has been eating up almost every free CPU cycle on our multi-core Macs.
I can quit the process but in a half hour it's back to 400% or higher.
Is there any way to limit in the Mac version how much CPU time to let it grab - or at least how many cores it can monopolize? It really does make Photoshop and all web browsers run sluggish. When I quit that process everything runs as snappy as before, but as com.avast.MacAvast.MAD's CPU% creeps up everything bogs down again.
