Uprade of Avast intenet security slows internet to a crawl
« on: October 11, 2018, 05:07:34 AM »
Since I upgraded it takes minutes for a page to load. If i disable Avast I have blazing speed. Even Avast times out it's so slow.
Changing the network from public to Private helped for an hour or so, but then it went back to crazy slow speed.

Wrong forum, but my shiny new Avast VPN refuses to connect, too.

Is there a fix? Or should I ask for a refund and go back to the far superior free version?
license avast 5274G4-SXVDMJ-4Z47NA

Hi
If that is your License you should edit your post and remove the license.
It's recommended,  you don't need to display that.

For your issue, when you upgraded did you do a custom install so as to choose which Avast components you want installed and "uncheck" those extras you don't want then reboot.

Edit:
What OS running?
