avast causing cmputer to run slow

win8.1, i7, 16gbRAM…when computer comes out of sleep, restart or anything that involves it booting back into operations…it takes about 5 min. tried uninstalling avast, took about 15s. i have all other updates/processes to not activate on startup that are not operationally required. it maxes out all available resources and causes most of the system t lock up until it stops processing which can take 5-10 min.

What avast version do you have installed?
If it is not 2014.9.0.2010 I suggest you remove the current installed version with avastclear and install that one.

Curious, I had no issues with Avast!. Never have
