Hello. I have seen a few topics on this forum about this issue already. However, most of them were solved by uninstalling the old version with the avast uninstall tool, running avast celanup tool, and installing the new beta version.
I too had this problem on my machine. I tried what everyone else suggested on the forums. It didn't work. I still see random RAM usage spikes, to upwards of 1/1.5 GB's, which will then drop the the normal memory usage. However, when the memory drops, the CPU usage starts to go up, very slowly, until it reaches 100%. The only way to stop this is to deactivate the web shield, but not only is that a thing I don't really want to do, the problem appears again around half an hour after reactivating the shield.
Could anyone give me a hand here?
Thanks in advance.
