Hi,
The CPU is always running at 100% for “com.avast.secureline.service” operation.
I have had Avast for a few years now, and it has never happened before. Help would be greatly for finding and eliminating the problem.
The machine is a MacBook pro, Intel i7, 2.6 GHz, 16Go Ram; running on “OsX 10.11.4”.
same. since like some days (could be less, dont really know since when, seems like it started with latest os x safetyupdate), using it since years too never happend
os x 10.9.5
MBP
i starts instantly at startup
drives my fan cracy and heats up macbook like hell
i just shut the process down, then everything as always
Same here:
99,9% CPU
Threads: 3
PID 200
My computer is running soooooo slow!!!
What can I do?!
Thanks for help!
Same for me.
I can quit the process, but it launches again after restart…
Same here since yesterday.
My machine is a Macbook Air 2012, running OSX 10.11.4
Please help
tks

What exact version of avast?
Do you all have secureline installed and licensed?
newest version (11.9) / free version
VPN not active
avast online security active
i dont think i got secureline installed and active… just normal avast
I have the same issue since this morning using the updated software version.
I had to Uninstall the avast secureline vpn to stop my cpu burn like the sun.
It seems to me a serious bug problem and i hope Avast will solve it soon.
@ Eddy , what do you mean when you say if it licensed or not? Since when unlicensed software version deliberately cause trouble to users machines? This seems very UNFAIR.
Hi,
There is a serious bug in the latest SecureLine VPN application that is causing this issue. If you do not use SecureLine (which most of you don’t), you can simply uninstall SecureLine from the SecureLine application menu. SecureLine is a separate product that has nothing to do with the antivirus, so when removed, your level of protection won’t be reduced in any way.
SecureLine is installed by default with Avast unless you uncheck the appropriate checkbox during the installation. As you are suffering this issue which is caused by SecureLine and not Avast, you have SecureLine definitely installed.
Hi,
I thought of stopping the responsible operation from loading at startup, but it does not display in the list.
Here is the list the Avast agents that are loaded right after rebooting the Mac, as displayed in the terminal:
launchctl list | grep avast
com.avast.home.userinit
com.avast.userinit
com.avast.helper
com.avast.secureline.userinit
com.avast.secureline.home.userinit
com.avast.update-agent
com.avast.AAFM.47072
com.avast.secureline.update-agent
Thanks!
Note:
I just read the latest message from tunic, but i don’t think it applies to me; the VPN Avast SecureLine product is not active.
Ok…, I found the menu and unloaded the VPN program.
Now the mac purrs normally .
tunic, thanks for the help, a happy debugging. 
You definitely have SecureLine active and running, the “launchctl list” output is a clear proof for that. Additionally, when the
“com.avast.secureline.service” process is eating up CPU, this is another clear evidence. So the solution for you is also to uninstall
SecureLine.
P.S.: I’m Tumic, not Tunic
thanks!
The hot-fix update has been released, the SecureLine application should update itself within 3 hours. This can be speeded up by execution of the following command in a terminal:
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/AvastSecureLine/components/update/update.sh
I’m very sorry about difficulties caused to you,
Martin
Krahulik thank you for your message. You have been very zealous in fixing the issue.
I really appreciate the software efficiency and I will continue to use it with satisfaction.
