I copied the report. I am getting this error under windows 7, saying its degrading my startup time. Yet, I did not notice any slower start then normal. Maybe because of my fast machine, It doesn't really affect me. Anyway, its not really a problem for me, I just thought I would post this, as maybe other users avast is causing a slow down on startup.
Separate minor problem:
Also, When I generate a system health report, It states that no anti-virus is installed. According to windows action center, avast is there, and windows detects it. But when I run the system health report, it says the security center detects no anti-virus installed. But when I go into security center, IT IS listed there. Weird problem. Most likely a minor windows bug, not with you guys. Just something else I noticed.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, it still shows these 2 minor issues. It doesn't bother me at all, but I just thought I would post to let everyone know.
Avast latest version installed (non beta)
