Hi,
Since the last (and pre-last) update Avast Free Antivirus started to slow down the internet speed and also the PC drastically.
Whenever I run my browsers, Photoshop or any other frequently used program, the hard disc works at its full for few minutes and everything is almost freezing for a while, same when I close a program.
I looked at every single parameter in the settings and still can't find out a way how to fix this issue even just a little bit. Even changing the sensitivity of every shield to LOW gives no effect.
Also, every time I wake up my PC, Avast starts scanning, even my Floppy drive and there is no option to avoid that. Before the last two version updates there was no such a behavior.
I fully scanned my system and no any virus, malware or whatever found. If I stop the file or web shield, the system works great as ever before.
My PC is with mighty XEON 4 Core 2.88GHz, but since Avast Free Antivirus updated to its last two versions, my PC works like a 90's PC.
Please for any ideas and suggestions about solving this problem with Avast.
Big thanks in advance!
