Hi all,
I've only started using Avast (basic) a few months ago, and I just updated to 15.
I have the same issue on my laptop (not a new one, but not crappy either), where the NG front end process is taking up 50%CPU for a long time after booting and the fans are running quite high with intermittent slower periods.
I understand that the suggested solution for now is to disable NG, but the issue that concerns me now is that when I opened the Change menu in add/remove programs for Avast, the NG box had already been unchecked.
Any ideas?
Will look into the BIOS option now.
Update: Although NG had been unchecked, I clicked Continue and after restart the process is not turning up yet. Thanks.
