running an FX-6100 @ 4.1GHz and a stuffty 160GB hard drive at 40MB/s read, boot time for Windows 7 is ~36 seconds before, and ~37 seconds after avast! installation. Are you sure you're doing it right?
idk how to explain it. windows boots up less than 30 seconds, but everything else takes so long to load. i have to wait some time before it loads up all the programs and crap, and it takes longer than its normally supposed to
when i uninstall antivirus it instantly loads crap up.
its weird. i dont know why its happening.
I don't know sorry I've never ever used an antivirus before, its probably not normal try reinstalling it or give up with it and uninstall it.
yes doing windows update on its bitch ass. should get it fixed.
holy stuff 500 mb of windows updates lol
