Today when I started up, as it's so slow, I waited many several minutes for logon screen, logged on and walked away. 10 minutes later I found the logon screen back again. When I logged on again it started and message said it had recovered from a serious fault and to send a report. This told me nothing in the report, but Outpost firewall also had an error message behind it.
There's 10 instances of svhost.exe. Don't know what that is. My PC used to be fast when it was new, but has got slower over the years. But this change from Avast 6 to 7 has affected it greatly.
I really don't know what to change in msconfig. I can see some startup items are related to installed software. Roxio, Samsung Keis (which doesn't work).
I did use the uninstall utility before posting yesterday evening. The boot time was hardly any different compared to when I newly installed avast 7.
What is OTL?
