I have the same problem, and - as far as I can tell - it begun in February 2017, around update 17.1.2286 or so.
I have Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium, and avBugReport.exe randomly takes over one of two CPU cores (resulting in +50% CPU usage spikes), which results in mouse jittering and freezing or video playback getting distorted. This occurs, as far as I can tell, randomly, but at least 2 times per session.
This behaviour persisted even after I uninstalled Avast, run Avast Uninstall Utility and installed Avast from freshly downloaded installer, on or shortly before 4th March 2017 (with PC restart between each step, of course).
I'm less worried about the irritating occasional CPU spike and more worried about safety - I can't tell whether that's a new scheduled checkup or if there are uncaught exceptions flying loose and wrecking havocs in security module(s).
(I've tried posting a support ticket with an avastSupport.exe file attached, but since I'm using Free Hippie Edition, I was first told to go away, and then I got "please post your paid license, some screenshots and try doing a Uninstall/Repair".)
