Ive been experiencing some very bad boot up times lately. and to find out whats causing the delay i installed this program called “king soft PC doctor” which monitors my system boot up time and i found the culprit which is none other than “avast real time sheild” which takes a whooping 33 secs :o to start which is like 40% of the time taken to boot up, and its very annoying because i normally don’t keep my laptop in sleep mode and. I’ve grown fond of Avast and dont want to switch to another antivirus program, is there any way to fix this?

Are you using Kingsoft PC Doctor full or the lite version? If you are using the full version http://www.majorgeeks.com/Kingsoft_PC_Doctor_d7112.html it includes an antivirus component, and may actually add to the problems you are experiencing. Of course, it will report the other AV (in this case, Avast) as the problem. The problems you were experiencing before adding Kingsoft into the mix may well be masked. Running two active AVs at once is never a good idea.
