ya i had 90 processes earlier but that doesnt caused me any problems so far, because its the same for me for years. But thats old.
Now only a week before i reinstalled my win7 64 bit, even avast 5.0.396 was running fine, but once i made a clean install of 418 build this annoying problem started, to be more specific the same problem was there for in some beta builds too.
Im specific that it is avast because in the "services tab" in task manger avast is the only service that is in the starting state.. only after it starts the other services will continue starting. The funny thing here is i cant uninstall avast though as nothing is running. I have to reboot in safe mode to uninstall avast!!!!
