Avastsvc taking Huge amounts of cpu

AvastSVC was aking like 70-80% of my cpu when I was not doing anything om my computer.

What other security are you using along side Avast if any?

None, I reinstalled avast to see if it works. I have a feeling it was because I checked scan all files in the File Sheild

Well…if there was a lot of hard drive activity going on scanning all files with the field shield would increase cpu usage.

That will do it.
