WHAT Thaah ?

[crabby3]

After I run a full anti-virus scan (avast!) my programs seem to take longer to load the next time I turn on my computer.  If I run a boot-scan... they take even longer.   

Even some of my pre-installed Tray Icons are missing.   

My question is... what happens during a scan to cause this?      Try to keep the answer(s) as simple as possible.   

BTW  This happens even if no viruses or PUP's are found.

I have no idea what the explanationto your question might be.
My only advice would be to stop scanning!!!    

Seriously, I NEVER scan my computer. Instead I scan everything coming to my computer.

I guess your right Curt.  With all the Real-time Shields running... I really don't need to scan any more.   

I'll try turning them off and see what happens... but if you don't see me around DC for a while... you'll know why.

Answer that is as simple as possible: bugs in your AV software. I'd file a bug report with Avast! because not all AV programs exhibit this behavior.

Thanks for the advice Innuendo... I'll see what Avast! has to say.

Well... I got an answer... just not the right topic.      This return email was about a question I had in July 2011.       Same older ticket number too.  I wonder what's going on over there?

Maybe they've scanned their PCs enough times with their AV software that their PCs have gotten so slow they are backlogged back to answering tickets 8 months old.

Actually... their Internet Security 7 has sped up a lot compared to version 6.  I wouldn't say twice as fast... maybe half-again as fast.  And they seem to have fixed the problem I had that started this topic.         ...so I guess I don't really need a current topic email from them.   

Of course I'm only comparing Avast to the garbage that came with my computers.

If you know of a comparable AV out there, Innuendo, I'm all ears.
