:slight_smile: Hi guys my computer starts up fast enough but when shutting down its a bit slow my question is dose avast scan any files in the back ground as the compter is shutting down if so this maybe the reason.
Thanks for your time and help.

What OS are you using? What exactly is ‘a bit slow’ (give it to us in seconds).

Does it help to terminate avast resident protection before shutting down?

Thanks

kanga: please, check your EventLog (don’t know how to get there in WinXP).

In EventViewer, check Application log for event from ‘UserEnv’. Is it there? What does it say?
