Thats just why Drak has PM'd me. I have taught him more in a couple pf PM's then most. Its called trying to educate people to use the tools built into there OS. Also just Google 'How to speed up my pc" and you will find links telling you about mscnfig and services. WinPatrol is not a cure all nor a vital tool. If you learn something everyday then you will be a more informed pc user. So bob.............You would rather tell everyone to use WinPatrol rather then teaching them about there OS? Whatever. I guess a math teacher should tell all her students to use calculators also.

I looked and Soluto says avast takes 128 seconds on my computer.  That is a long time.  Wonder why it's taking so long?

I would guess Avast is conflicting with something on your PC which causes Avast to load slowly on boot up. I see you use Acronis TrueImage. From personal experience TI is a pig and its very possible TI and Avast do not like each other. I use TI 2010 but backup and restore using TI bootable media only. TI is never installed on my PC's. If you can backup and restore from TI bootable media I suggest making a backup and then uninstall TI and see if it has any affect on Avast's slow load speed. Malwarebytes Pro, RollbackRx are also possible suspects so I would try uninstalling them one at a time and see what affect they have on boot  times. If SugarSync (free) loads on startup and or loads a filter driver I would uninstall it also to see if it affects boot up. Any program that loads on startup and or loads a filter driver could cause slow boot up so uninstall any that come to mind one at a time and see how boot speed is affected. I would also investigate the OEM Toshiba software as most of it is not needed and is most likely a pig anyway. Once you are done testing restore back to the image made before testing and make any changes you found beneficial during your testing.  

I installed Soluto on the rig in my sig and Avast IS 6.0.1044 takes about 4 seconds to load. Keep in mind I'm using an SSD as a boot drive on a overclocked i7 930 so its not a fare comparison.

MBAM pro slow down a lot the boot, specially with the real-time module. and it is not so vital to have it.

i used true image (and set to manual somes services)and i dont saw it take too much time on boot.

I gave up on True Image as it crashed my XP Pro system!

You do not indicate in your signature if you are running XP, Vista or Windows 7 32 or 64bit. ???

ah ok ^^

for info i used a small software (more a script than a SW) to calculate my restart-time:  result : 93 sec.

the sw is named "restart time"... ^^

true image 2011 has many tools that i found usefull. so i stick with it, i like the speed and compression level.

@ umbrapolaris,
I think that one of the top ten image hosting sites would be much better
suited than the one hidden in your signature :

Not hidden, completely gone if you add it to adblock plus, which I do with mist images in signatures, just takes up extra screen space. ;D

Since this is an international forum using a service which blocks certain countries is not acceptable.
Photobucket is an alternative that isn't blocked anywhere.

You, me and some around can do that, others may have a problem.
Again, drop these graphical sigs..!!
