Let's try to make Avast running faster by removing some additional features and adjusting few settings. Here are the suggestions from avast! Support to remedy this problem whilst not really affecting your security: They suggested to change a few things which I did and now my CPU performance is back to normal, I am getting 5.3 seconds in wPRIME so a 0.3 seconds performance hit is fine. I then submitted a support ticker to Avast which as usual, took almost 2 weeks to be answered. This surprised me because according to the latest AV-Comparatives Performance tests, it shows that Avast Antivirus is one of the lightest solutions out there. I then installed NOD32 and Kaspersky Antivirus (separately off-course) and benchmarked again but I would get 5 seconds in wPRIME so that was all good and the issue seemed to only be there when Avast Antivirus was installed. No help was offered and I was just told that any Antivirus would cause a small hit on the CPU performance.
I then posted this thread on the avast support forums:Īvast Antivirus Pro affecting CPU Performance Without an Antivirus installed, I would get a score of 4.9 seconds, with Avast Antivirus Pro installed, I would get 7.5 seconds (the lower the score the better). I tested using wPRIME running a 32M benchmark. So a while back, I noticed that my CPU performance was decreased.
