One of the most common problems faced by individuals after installing a top quality antivirus software application is a huge delay in the boot of time. It is natural for computers to take more time to boot as fragmentation of the hard disk takes place.
Further, you may want certain programs to be activated at startup as a matter of rule. All these issues may not bother you because the computer may start with reasonable delay. However, the installation of the antivirus software application is going to complicate matters.
The computer is going to either hang or function very slowly until the antivirus program loads after the initial memory scan after the operating system has been booted. The next step is the activation and operation of the firewall.
You may end up spending a good two to three minutes waiting for the computer to function properly. If you have instructed the computer to start scan on specific days after boot up, you may find it next to impossible to use the computer for a good half an hour to one hour after startup.
What is the best way to solve this problem? Well, you can check out the various features and options in the antivirus program and choose the one that offers medium protection instead of extremely high protection. You can also skip the memory scan and system scan when booting up on a daily basis. You can leave these options for manual activation at a later date.
Further, you can take a look at all other programs that you have included in your startup list and check whether you need each and every one starting up simultaneously with your computer.
