Avast Slowing Down Computer

Avast Slowing Down Computer 4,5/5 3242 reviews

When working, my computer randomly slows down and the web pages take a very long time to load. I found out that is caused by Avast (version 7.0.1474) updating which sometimes takes a long time. My solution has been disabling the web shield for 1.00 hour and it worked great.

The shield came back on and the computer slows again, I disable and so on. How can I stop Avast from updating randomly? Or from slowing down and even sometimes freezing the system? My computer has Windows XP 2002 home edition service pack 3, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz, 1.00 GB of Ram. I am using Threat Fire firewall. Change tempo of sample fl studio. In my opinion, if an antivirus can check, and actually find new updates, many times in a day, I think you should let it, to keep your computer as secure as possible.

However, Avast is a free antivirus and probably does not have new updates every hour. My ESET antivirus (not free) updates definitions many times a day and does download new definitions.Setting Avast to 'advise when update available' is what I'd do. No need to have it look for updates that aren't available anyway.'

Attention your system is not fully protected'? For that, you need to know the why it's showing. OK, I deleted Advance System Care and Threatfire. Threatfire left 4 files that I was not able to delete ATL80.dll, TFMon.dll, TFRK.dll & TFWAH.dll.

On the other hand I found out that Avast gives me the msg 'Attention your system is not fully protected' when I changed to 'ask when update is available', so I think that wont be a problem. The last thing, when I runed HijackThis, the program left a screen in my computer that says 'Scan', 'Analyze This', 'Fix Checked'(bold) 'Menu' etc., what I am supposed to do with it? Can I just closed it?
