Hi,
Was experiencing high cpu usage today and it turned out to be the Avast software.
With ‘all files’ selected under ‘scan created/modified files’ option on the 'scanner (advanced) tab of Standard Sheild, I get very high cpu usage. This is the default setting, as far as I know, that did not cause this problem when I used the software yesterday.
Does anyone know why this should happen and is it okay to have this option deselected?
