The network itself (both local and internet) is fine, other non-Windows systems have been using it.Īt some point I started to suspect one of the recent avast updates. Task manager and other process monitors did not reveal any obvious single process consuming CPU. Over the last several weeks (maybe as far back as early March) I've been putting up with my computer needing to be rebooted more often than before because it gradually became unbearable to use after a few days, with CPU fan constantly spinning fast and having to wait multiple seconds for every network request. I've been a (mostly) satisfied user of avast for more than a decade.
