Avast! slow down system start up considerably
« on: September 11, 2004, 07:03:12 PM »
Hi, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I decided to uninstall Avast! yesterday to see if it could be causing conflicts on my A: (doubtful but definitely something to check out - avast! was not the problem) so I reinstalled it.  Generally, without Avast! my system start up took 15-20 seconds, but now with Avast it takes anywhere from 40 seconds - 1 minute.  Just wondering why this might be since that is quite long.

Thanks,
-Staind

Hi Staind, I have this same problem but decided to live with it rather than loose Avast, could you please say how you fixed this problem.
Thanks,

I had him do a complete uninstall Of Avast and then a re-install.
Click on the link in my signature and get the Complete Uninstall file.
Hope it helps.

Technical
He didn't say just said he had a long delay after a normal un-install and the a re-install. So I said to either try a repair or complete unintall and re-install. The re-install method was chosen.

Actually, it seems to have come back. Which is weird.  It seems ok then after a few times I restart (I had to restart after iTunes froze) it took the usual time again.  Also, another thing I noticed, is that the "connect to ISP" icon always has the windows blue rather than gray which they should be when you're not connected. Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks all I will try a repair first.

Staind do you mean the icon next to the clock in the system tray?
