Avast is subtly draining my battery (in the background)

[REDACTED]

My HP Pavilion g6 with, now, Windows 10 and Avast Pro 12.3.2280 and I feel the strain on my battery lately. Windows says whatever background processes are making it eat 75% with the next thing being Chrome browser at 20%.
I read in another thread check to see what I'm doing to make it go into action or scan, but there's nothing coming specifically to mind.

If Repair doesn't fix the problem, try the following:
Clean Install of Avast:

After "repairing," Avast and Chrome have now switched places; thank you!
