Hi.
I’m using Avast Premium Security 15.0 (82184457a665) on macOS 11.6
Lately I have noticed when I turn on my computer for the first time in the morning and Avast looking for updates and also scan the network it is put everything else on hold. I am not able to launch any application and if I manage to open a web browser, I still can not open web pages before Avast complete the update and the network scan. Sometime it could take as long as 15 minutes which can be extremely inconvenient if I have literally just 5 minutes in the morning and would like to quickly check something before I had out.
Because I am not able to launch any application, I am also not able to launch the system monitor to check what is happening exactly. I can launch Avast and I can see that it is scanning the network and looking for updates and all the shields are on, so I can only suspect it is Avast update and network scanning in the mornings that causing this.
The second-third time I start my computer later the day, usually I don’t experience this and Avast also do not scan the network and do not look for updates. Therefore I believe it is the update and network scanning causing this problem in the mornings.
Thank you.
