Thanks Everyone for the help. I disabled the following services:
- Passwords
- Software Updater
- Browser Cleanup
- Cleanup

Now it stays under 3% average CPU usage in the performance monitor.
If a developer needs help or information they can notify me. To be honest i considered the Software Updater usefull. As a clean up manager i have Tune Up! Utilities from the Vaio Software Suite.
All these things being added to Avast over the years is what made me move away. If you just choose the 3 shields in a custom install, you won't have any resource problems and you will have full protection. Actually, it's debatable whether the mail shield is really necessary. You can choose the browser protection too if you want but in my opinion, it's not worth much. The File shield and Web shield are the only fully essential components.
Amazing how someone who's not using the product is giving advice on how to use it.  ::)

I guess you didn't see where I installed the Nitro update on my tablet. I know how it works and it's not bad without all the needless (in my opinion of course) additional stuff.

We are working on the registration to Windows Security Center, and the issues will be fixed in next version.

Thanks Martin,
Right now it requires an extra reboot and sometimes a repair of Avast to fix the problem.

Avast firewall driver causes BSOD on boot in latest Windows Insider Preview (Build 14383).

I suggest you try the following:

Repair Avast:
Control Panel> Program and Features (Add/remove program)>Select Avast> Select Repair. Reboot when completed
https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB204
If Repair doesn't fix the problem, try the following:
Clean Install of Avast:

Driver prevented me from booting into the OS so I couldn't have done either. I clean installed the OS and am just using the Windows firewall.

Ran the update but cant find stats anymore in tools !

It was removed and will return in September :) Totally redesigned as well.

Is there any way in this release to obtain a list of items blocked?
