CPU Usage Too High!

[REDACTED]

hi, today I installed Avast Internet Security 12.1.22.72 on my Windows, but it is using 40%-55% of my CPU all the time, I did a restart but no changes
Since I use heavy CPU tasks, if this continues I'll uninstall it. so plz help me.
the services eating my CPU is "avast! Service (32 bit) => Avast Antivirus.
I have installed it on Windows 10 Pro.

- W10 (32/64 Bit..? - which SP/Build..?)
- Other security related software installed..?
- Which AV(s) did you use before Avast..?

Hello! I had the same problem... You must go to "settings>tools and disable "Cleanup" and you'll be fine...  And you  must restart your pc.
