The most common issue that any antivirus user faces is of slow system performance. Avast antivirus users are no exception in such case, they too have to bear with bad performance of the computer. It looks as if your PC is so tired that it even can’t walk properly. But there are few things that you can do to make your system performance boost up.

1. Clean your Hard Drive for Free Space- When your hard drive reach near to its maximum limit then you need to take some action to create space in your Hard Drive. For this you can empty trash, move audio, video or image file to the cloud. You can even delete the stuff that is no longer in use. There are so many activities that add up to hard disk space, which can cause the system to get sluggish, wasting system resources.

You can even use Avast Cleanup scan for this task. It will identify unwanted or obstacle files and programs that can be removed or disabled to create more space so that your system can run in an optimal state.

  1. Clean Your Browser- When you download free software or programs, they come with hidden add-ons and other potentially unwanted programs which affects the speed of your computer. In fact some free tool bar can also infect your PC, hijack your browser or steal your personal information. You can use Avast Browser clean up feature to identify poorly rated add-ons for Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox and allows you to disable or remove them.
  2. Upgrade your Computer or memory- You need to have at least 1GB of memory (RAM) for 32 bit system and 2GB for a 64 bit system is required for Avast Antivirus. If you are using an old computer then it might not have enough memory to make your software run smoothly.
  3. Check for Programs Running in the Background- If there is any application or program running in the background while scanning then it will make your computer sluggish. It is better to quit programs while scanning.
  4. Patch Out-of-Date Software- Any drivers, programs or operating which is outdated or unpatched can have vulnerabilities, bugs and other incompatibilities that may drag down the performance of your computer. So, you must make sure that you download recommended patches and updates. You can use Software updater tool in Avast Antivirus to keep you up-to-date and eliminate potential security risks.
