After a few minutes?
Then it may be actually related to the rootkit scan on system startup.
Try disabling it in avast settings (Troubleshooting page) and see if it makes any difference.
Thanks

I can freeze the system immediately if I do a search like in the attached photo I give you! It even freezes if i try to open and read a pdf file. My network connection slowed signifactly down, once I even had to reboot like the friend above me.
Folders are not oppening as fast, the whole system behaves as having the CPU in full load 100%, but it's not in full load! It's normal as it was with previous version of Avast!
And eventually, it crashes after a few minutes..
I have Avast! uninstalled now, because I'm working on a C++ project and can't handle the continuing crashes. This is the best information I can give you, it's like 4.8v was steadily poisoning my system.
One thing I can tell you for sure, is that with Spyware Terminator off, things were going a bit better, but when I pushed a bit the system (doing a search, opening a file, playing some music with wmp), it crashed.
