When I turn on my PC: for the first 10mins. The Avast icon in the tray indicates the PC is not protected and the Windows shield in the tray says firewall is not turned on. After about 10 mins., the avast icon changes & I am protected, THEN I can connect to the internet. It used to be that in 1-2 min I was up & running & could connect. Any ideas why this is?
do you mean that once you’ve already logged in, you usually had to wait “just” 1-2 minutes before being able to connect?
