The Wireless adapter and the revolving circle at the startup is a PIA for some unfortunate users (not necessarily AVAST). But after 1489 update I see the time to boot up being more and the endless revolutions over the Wireless adapter takes a lot of time to stabilize. I am open to suggestions if there is technically anything that can be done to the WA to make it respond faster. Also I would like to know if others have seen similar increases in booting time.
I have my clients remove Defender, and it helps!
If you are talking of Windows Defender , I do not use it.
Windows Defender is part of Windiws therefore it cannt be remove. It can however be disabled.
Depends on which flavor of Windows.
