icon spinning

When the icon in the tray is spinning nothing happens. Why is the icon spinning sooooo much??

windows update, windows indexing, program(s) checking for updates / downloading updates …

It is a function of active real-time scanning of processes and files being read and inspected on-the-fly. The spinning icon is showing active real-time scanning as it is happening on your system.

And if you don’t like the spinning icon : Avast - Settings - General - and deselect " Animate the icon when scanning".
