avastSvc.exe use high cpu

ok, do you have a solution gor that problem?

any other security programs installed? … if so what?

You’ve given no information whatsoever so how can anybody answer your statement/question

What Avast version ?

What OS - Spec’s and version ?

What other software is running alongside Avast to cause this high cpu usage?

avast 2016 internet security
windows 7 home
no other programs
thanks for the interest

Avast generally uses very little cpu or ram so there has to be something running which Avast may be scanning, is high usage periodic or constant?

You could also try running an Avast repair to see if it might cure any irregularities.

it is a constant situation, how i can run an avast repair? thanks again

Avast 2016: Repair and reset Avast Antivirus >> https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB204#artTitle

the problem was solved when I disabled in the settings of clean up of the activity

??? ??? ??? Some more details might help others with a similar problem. Thanks

avast-settings-tools-clean up (disable)

If you don’t intend to use that tool, the better option would be to remove it from the installed options within Avast.
Program and Features> Select Avast > Modify > Uncheck Clean Up
Reboot after the modification has completed.
Start using the Custom option when you install Avast or any other program and only allow those items you intend to use. :slight_smile:
