how to temporarily suspend the basic antiviurs program
« on: January 04, 2023, 06:47:49 PM »
My windows 10 pro computer is lagging alot once I start up my browser, google chrome, and this lagging is while using all programs and even in word processing.  Before I start up google chrome (microsoft edge does the same issue) after starting my computer no problem with word processing and other non internet based applications, it is only when i start chrome/ edge this starts so I thought i could temporally stop the antivirus and see if it does the same thing?   even as i type this it is "buffering" for at times for a few key strokes then it catches up.
also other  suggestions appreciated,

Right click the Avast tray icon.
