Hello everybody
The version is 2015 10.2.2218 R2 SP2. It uses up a lot of memory en slows pc down drasticly. It happend on two PC’s in the last week. Anyone with simmilair problems or a solution (I installed a previous version as a workaround.)
Also i Would to say it’s stil a great product but all the extra software offers are getting more and more irritating
Do a custom install and deselect the software you don’t want.
This is not just good advice for avast, but for Windows installs in general.
For example, I only install the shields and English language (UK). I say NO
to everything else.
What is using the svchost ?
I’m not sure wich is to blaim for the svchost
The title you gave implies that it is avast, for the most part activity for avast will come under its main service avastSvc.exe.
The svchost.exe by its nature Service Host, will be being used as a host by many services in the OS and installed software. You need to have a tool to check what is being used within instances of svchost.exe. I use SvchostAnalyzer.exe by neuber.com (currently avast is alerting on this download, so I have reported it) but I’m sure there are other such tools.
Proses Explorer from sysinternals can show it too.
