Internet Connection

I have Avast and was wondering why it takes so long ( up to 3 minutes) for my computer to get my wireless network connection. My web pages come up fine but then it takes what seems to be along time making my IE connection. I have Uverse if that makes a difference. I have talked to Uverse support and they say it is Avast that is holding things up.

And we’re say that the network drivers are holding avast ones…
You can set avast! to wait for all other necessary services to be running on the Troubleshooting page of settings. Then you can see which is holding the startup of the network. avast! will wait for the necessary drivers to be loaded.

Have no idea what you are referring too… Please explain

Both the antivirus and the network drivers should load.
avast! need the network drivers should be loaded before.
That setting could bring an order: 1st the network drivers, then the antivirus.
