I’m otherwise ok with avast except for this very irritating problem.
Randomly, avast decides that my pc is not to be used for entire minutes, locking it down with 100% uninterrupted disk usage as it is heavily querying the folder CatRoot{F7… in my system.
That folder contains around 2500 elements totaling at circa 70 MB.
When this activity happens, procmon displays a humongous wall of avastsvc reading catroot files non-stop.
What’s the cause for such a massive activity to happen? How to at least soften the issue? Perhaps a setting in avast is the culprit? Or can I delete the contents of catroot?
