Is it safe to load antivirus services after other system services?
Solution 1:
Being on the fact its on the troubleshooting page, its likely that there are known issues with loading Avast before the system services. It makes sense that its slower loading the system services after Avast, as Avast is doing AV checks on those services - they are executables. It is probably "safest" to have Avast load first, unless you feel you cant live without the speed. Is it safe? Not as safe as loading before the system services, but should be adequate.
