I’m having sporadic spikes in memory usage. On task manager ‘Avast. service’ was about the normal 10MB on start up. After about 30mins the system was lagging. Checked task manager, … ‘Avast. service’ was @ 400MB. This lasted for around 15mins. I’ve no idea why. The laptop is barely a month old. It’s happened on several occasions.
The laptop came with Norton preinstalled. I used the Norton uninstall tool before installing Avast. Never really had many issues apart from auto update not working which was resolved with a tweak. Windows Defender is showing as disabled.
