Hi tech, what is the tool used to capture this screenshot ? We do, of course, monitor the performance impact of Avast and for the boot times our hard limit is 130% of the clean system. 85sec is nowhere near such limit, unless your PC is really slow, so I'd like to know how do you measure this, so we can reproduce. Does this mean it takes you 85 seconds before you can log in? Or before your favorite app starts (such as Browser or MS Word) ? Or what is the moment the tool (or you) consider as the end of the boot process?
Avast service does quite a few things during its startup, slightly more during the first boot and less during subsequent boots. We also try to ensure the virus database is up to date (as soon as we seen an internet connection), this might also add to the work load on the CPU during boots. Would you rather have avast wait a few minutes before doing the VPS update? We are considering such option as well.
Thanks.
Lukas.
