Before i read your message, i launched two scans to test if they where functional :
- scans with 210904.2 don't hang at 0% (but yesterday they did with 210903.8)
- ... but the log you asked for has been replaced with the new ones so i can't send yesterday's log

Concerning the background protection, for this boot :
- 210903.8 was installed at boot time
- avastsvc CPU usage rose to 50% after ~10 minutes (rootkit scan it must be)
- update to 210904.2 made before or after this peek?
- i stopped/started the avastsvc via a net command
- 8 minutes later, with 210904.2 installed, avastsvc CPU usage is normal

Three boots later, Avast 2014.9.0.2016 on Win7 SP1 with rootkit scan enabled, everything seems fine.

I guess the issue's been corrected for me.

Thanks a lot to edialchu for having alerted on the rootkit scan, to DavidR for the 8 minutes root kit scan delay, and to jaroslav.nix + gmer + the avast team for having considered our troubles !
