Hello all,
I am having Avast Service (with Avast Antivirus as a subitem as shown in the Task Manager) produce high CPU load periodically. It eats up to 85,6% of the CPU while showing little to no disk activity (like 0,1 MB/s). The problem is that the CPU is Core i7 870, and still it gets all cores loaded with the listed total. That's too much, the PC becomes too sluggish to e.g. work with an IDE or even Microsoft Word with the richer document opened. Avast GUI itself refuses to respond sometimes.
How can I fix that? I saw some older posts about uninstalling the software update component, but I don't see that option in the Avast GUI.
My OS is Windows 10 Pro.
Thanks,
Kirill
