Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?
Long time ago
my account is matthias65451, but cant login.
At Time its good. But i wish the avast software tell me wsomthing when using 100% CPU…
- Download Avast Internet Security: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_internet_security_setup.exe
- Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions…!!)
- Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
- Reboot.
ok i made this procedure, and it seems to be good now, but now i cant make the firewall on.
Repair Avast:
- Control Panel → Add/Remove programs → Avast
- Click on ‘Repair’.
- Follow instructions.
- Reboot.
This works not.
I have removed avast again and reinstalled in safe mode with firewall, then windows xp do not start again in normal mode.
And the mail protection dont work anymore.
What is this for a version??? 2015.10.2.2215?? It dont work.

No, i really dont want to make a Supportticket. I have absolutely no lust. i was downgrading to 6.0.1506 from 2011. And this version works fine. And i have Windows XP, this is old, and maybe is it good for a old OS using a old AV.
And i dislike the new design of Avast.
But Thanks, avast, that i get the new Virus definition for the old software.
Avastsvc.exe need to much CPU without any reason and without tray animation also in the Version 6.0.1506 from 2011. My Windows Installation is therefore the problem i guess.
But i used the autoupdate-function to get 2015.10.2.2215, and now 2015.10.2.2215 works without errors. The high cpu usage of Avastsvc.exe is not easy reproducible, because its only sometimes. In some days i will know how 2015.10.2.2215 works.
Today again 5 Minutes with the newest version of avast, and it need the power in such a high priority, that i am unable to start another program in this time.
Complaining isn’t going to solve your problem.
Submit a ticket: https://support.avast.com/Tickets/Submit as already suggested by Asyn.
Thanks alot, maybe i use the support-system sometimes, but now i have the problem solved by myself by using process explorer always on.
I use FreeCommander, and always if i used with FreeCommander Folders with thousands of files, avast needed later so much CPU.
The solution is simple: Disable the Cache like in the screenshot. maybe is the problem only at my computer, because i have disalbled scanning files in the real time file system shield. Therefore maybe avast never have updated my working folders, and have always the same problem with it. It make always the first time procedure… because never was a file scanned.
So you would rather disable a shield and put your system at possible risk than submit a support ticket and attempt to solve the problem ???
Your computer, your choice. Certainly not mine.
I make a Ticket.
Reason is at the screenshot.
Now i have find out the real reason, its the Scanning for PUP.
Disable scanning for PUP in the Settings.
No, this was not the solution - the problem is still present. Its really not easy to find out, and the support told me something from virtual machines which i cant find. Where can i find Avast NG?
