Since this morning, avast AV has started using huge amounts of CPU (have you been taken over by Symantec?
). Trying to open PDFs from my NAS puts it upto 100% usage, but even with nothing else happening its at 40-50% when usually for this it would be 5%.
Rebooted machine to see if it made any difference, and since then (about 2 hours ago, avast has used 6hrs of cpu time).

PS your captcha verification is completely unreadable, after cycling through about a dozen images I tried listening to it, but it does not play anything (runs for zero seconds).
