Sorry I wasn’t able to get back sooner, but pregnant wives have higher priority than computer issues. :slight_smile: I checked and at startup I’m seeing >1300 files scanned by the time the OS is fully loaded. I am running KPF 4.1.1 myself. I had the same things running with the previous version of avast and didn’t have this slow of a startup.

I run the following at startup:
Avast
KPF 4.1.1
SpeedswitchXP 1.4
WebWasher 3.3
Spybot Search & Destroy (Teatimer)
Prevx Home
Buzzsaw
Yahoopops
& Aquadock
