system

I’m sorry, but updating the virus database shouldn’t cause a delay during login. System boots in seconds (like, five or less) and after login, things hang - but having methodically installed Windows 8.1 Pro clean, I know that nothing on my system is delaying my logins aside from Avast, simply because I’ve timed boot and login (using the stopwatch on my phone), and this time does not change until after I’ve installed Avast - (the latest, paid Premier) Windows doesn’t seem to slow down much when there are updates: it gives me the option to load them, I do, maybe things slow down a little, but not hanging for minutes at a time. It feels like something’s wrong.
