I decided to run a Malwarebytes scan and low and behold, it found 108 PUP type programs on my system, which have been removed. Avast seems to boot up a bit better now or at least I see the icon in the task bar sooner. Am no scanning with the ESET Online scanner which is extremely slow, but highly effective. I’m quite surprised that Malwwarebytes found so many malicious programs with the great reviews Avast has received…Makes me wonder. If ESET finds viruses, I think it’s time to find a new anti-virus program.
