Try Startup Delayer.
This freeware controls the windows startup (Windows 98\Me\2k\XP) that does not follow a strict order.

You can set some applications to start very after the boot (logon) itself. :wink:
They will manage the execution of programs that are automatically started by the operating system at logon time. Instead of executing many programs at once (causing your OS to spit and sputter and attack your hard drive), StartRight will give the OS time to execute the program before running the next program. The OS should become much more responsive almost imediately after logon.

Since avast! version 4.7.807 the Standard Shield has a feature called do not scan system libraries (by default on) that dramatically decrease the number of files scanned during computer boot.

You don’t mention how long this takes ?

avast is scanning certain files during boot to protect you. This takes some time and is directly effected by several things:

  1. Standard Shied sensitivity, the higher it is the more files it scans, Normal (default option) provides the best performance V protection.
  2. What other security based software do you have that might be scanning during boot, this would cause avast to scan what they open to scan creating duplication, e.g. Spybot S&D (TeaTimer), AdAware (AdWatch), SpySweeper, PrevX, WinPatrol, ProcessGuard, etc. ?
  3. The amount of programs you have startup on boot, reduce to those absolutely essential to you.
  4. Your system specification, OS, CPU, RAM ?

Some firewalls also have other scanning plug-ins which can also interact with the anti-virus causeing double scanning.
