Avast Firewall is slow to start

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

When I boot my computer, windows complaints that no Firewall is installed and running.
However, I have Avast Premium and if I wait a few extra minutes, Avast will magically turn on the Firewall.

Why is Avast turning on the firewall so late in the boot process that Windows gets to complain its not running ?

Repair Avast:

  1. Avast GUI → Settings → Troubleshooting
  2. Click on ‘REPAIR APP’.
  3. Follow instructions.
  4. Reboot.

Thanks, but not changing anything really. The Firewall is still the last thing to switch on. About 3 minutes into the boot.
