I noticed when i upgraded to the new version of avast,my computer takes a little longer to boot up. I’m on a laptop and have windows xp. I dont know if its avast,or just the fact that my laptop is a bit old,being built in 2003 i think. I preferred version 7 of avast though.
I just wanted to add one thing: I started wondering if having the rootkit scan on system startup enabled could be the problem.
No, it’s running 8 minutes after boot.
Try this…
- avast! GUI → Settings → Troubleshooting → Enable: “Load avast! services only after other system services”
- Click OK.
- Reboot.
