PC, XP Pro SP2, 1GB ram, 2.66ghz p4.
My laptop with win2k, 512 ram, 2.8 ghz Celeron starts up faster, it should be much slower!
They both have the exact same startup progs, but the avast on the laptop only scans 50 or processes or less on startup - as I mentioned, avast! scans over 500 processes on startup, on the PC!
