I love Avast . But I just want to know how to prevent it from starting up automatically. Or delay it from starting. I dont want to disable though
You can set avast to load after the system files.
It is in the settings.
Not entirely correct “Load Avast services only after loading other system services” not after system files.
This in all honesty it shouldn’t make that much difference to load speed as there shouldn’t be that many system services. This would normally only be an issue if there is a system service required by avast and it hasn’t been loaded.
Avast is a resident on-access antivirus, so it is designed to be up and active very early on in the boot to provide protection at a time when it is needed most.
Can you explain what the problem is it that makes you what to stop avast on startup ?
What avast version are you using ?
What other security based software do you have installed, anti-spy/malware, firewall, etc.
