computer slow down due to avast?
« on: March 27, 2020, 07:32:43 PM »
Maybe this is not the place for this but I suddenly noticed that my computer is slowing down its game functionality.....some of the new games have been seizing up for a second.  Someone suggested that I run a malware bytes just to check it against Avast Premium.  Lo and behold, it caught some PUP's that came up as Avast software.  The programs ran much smoother after that.  So my theory is that Malware, which mysteriously got stopped, is a better program.  I want to uninstall this version of Premium in order to test my theory.  I have saved a copy to my flash drive, so I will be able to keep it for later.  How do I stop or uninstall the Avast for the clean restart with no anti-bug programs to verify my findings?  Please do not tell me it cannot be done, although you seem to have embedded it in the system very well.  Thank you
