I would suggest that you stick with that one or it will become confusing for all concerned, as this one has been marked (Solved).
I am having the exact same problem.
It happens several times a day.
I’ve been reading about how to fix it but I’m a moron when it comes to computers.
Where is this “WebShield.ini” file I keep reading about? I can’t find it for the life of me.
I’m using windows 8
Avast Internet Security (not the free version)
With all the updates.
Sorry I don’t even know how to find out the exact version for you guys.
When I went to school, the only computer we had was in the library to tell where the book we wanted was, lol.

If you read about it in this topic, it gives the locations in Reply #16.
That said I rather doubt that you have the same problem as this topic that is over 1 year and 9 months old and shouldn’t be relevant on your win8 installation of avast. The reason I say this is there have been several program updates since then and the streaming updates have been updated in some of these.
You also asked this question again back in July 7 2015 - https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=143711.msg1230904#msg1230904 - and the location was given in that also Reply #25.

Help! I am a relative novice. About 2 weeks ago, I notice a general slow down on my Windows 10 computer. I checked Task Manager Processes and found Avast Service was using 99 to 100% CPU. It fluctuates down to 94% for a few seconds and then goes back up. I tried using Control Panel to uninstall, but it has benn close to 2 hours and I’m still waiting for it to stop. Help
By the way, I didn’t understand most of the previous discussion on this topic.

Start your own topic and describe your problem.
Posting in an old topic makes no sense. The information in this old thread no longer applies to days version of Avast.
