I am having the similar problems. Instup.exe keeps running and really slowing my system down, particularly when I am trying to do things on the net. It gets so bad that everything locks up and I have to shut down the computer with a hard reset just to be able to break the cycle.
I am using a Dell Latitude D610 Laptop
WinXP SP3
1Gb RAM
128Mb Integrated Graphics
This has been adequate for my modest needs up until recently, but suddenly Avast! is no longer a small friendly program, but a drain on my resources that is interfering significantly. Is this something I can adjust, or do I have to search for another antivirus to replace Avast!
