All over this forum, going back several years, people report my problem. After boot or wake-up (on a brand new computer) avast pegs disk usage at 100%. I have even disabled most extras and it's still happening, making my PC slog for at least 15 minutes unless I disable ALL shields. That temporarily solves it if I wait a few minutes, but even after re-enabled.
Avast continues to pretend this is a non-issue, yet it's reported from here to Tom's hardware and back again. If this isn't addressed soon (after 3 years) I am going to take the issue to Twitter and see if that gets any response. If this message is like all the rest, it won't get one either. I guess I'l just have to try AVG then.
Also, the Capcha in this board is one of the most unreadable I've ever seen. I have to ask for about 9 images before I can even read half the letters
