I purchased the yearly Avast Premium Security for Mac after running the Avast free version for a couple of years. After I installed the premium version I didn't see anything drastically changed in using my Mac. After I left it for a while and came back finding it asleep, as I have it setup. I hit a key or click the mouse. I get the login window, but it's in the default background images for Catalina. I then type in the password and have to wait about 10 minutes plus for the system to come back online. Disks that I have hidden are now showing on the desktop, my Mail looks as though it has restarted and not allowing my SpamSieve to activate, so I have to quit Mail and restart it to have Spamseive reactivate. It's like every time I awaken my Mac it is in the restart mode. This is not acceptable.
I must have missed something in setting up although I went through all the steps in the instructions 3 times, it still acts the same. I am glad on the 60-day free special so I can get this working quickly like the free version was or I can remove it and go to something else. Maybe I don't need the protection that the Premium version offers?
