Even the fastest computer in the world can beslow due to incorrect operation of a single process in the system. And it doesn’t matter what the process is and what it is responsible for. For the Windows operating system it is quite natural. The focus of this article is the process of “avp.exe”, what it is and how to solve the problem with slow system operation.
Find responsible
Поначалу нужно понять, где находится одноименный executable file "avp.exe". Not always in the task manager specifies the path to it. Therefore, you can use the usual search in the system by typing the name without quotes. The search will take the user to a software directory called Kaspersky Anti-Virus. At this stage you should not relax. Yes, this is an antivirus, but its task is to catch viruses, and not slowing down the system with the maximum processor load with just one “avp.exe” process. What is it, we figured out, you can proceed to the first steps to eliminate the problem.
Standard Admin Actions
There is a basic set of actions that allowsidentify and eliminate most software errors in the system. Methods are not easy, but very effective. All actions are performed in strict order. If at some stage the problem is solved, the question is closed, otherwise it is necessary to proceed to the next item.
- Since the “avp.exe” process loads the processor, it is easy to find it and complete it in the task manager.
- If there is no right to complete the process,It is recommended to run the command line on behalf of the administrator, which is located at the address “Start” - “Standard”, in it enter the command without quotes “taskmgr” and press “Enter”. Delete process with admin rights.
- Go to the Kaspersky Anti-Virus folder and re-launch the executable file.
If the problem is resolved, the conclusion about incorrect loading of the antivirus at the start of the system is suggested. In such cases, reinstalling the software will help.
The struggle for the survival of the system
It is possible that the program “avp.exe »loads the entire system, carrying out a constant struggle with a virus, taking over all the computer resources. And this is not fiction. On the official website of "Kaspersky" developers have mentioned this problem, taking responsibility for themselves. From such a loud statement the computer will not work faster, the poet should resort to outside help. From the official website of a competitor, you need to download the free Dr.Web CureIt! Utility to install on your computer and run the scan. If "Kaspersky" will interfere with the test, you can "block the oxygen to it" in the task manager. The utility does not work quickly, but very effectively, it not only finds, but also eliminates the threat. There can be several results:
- There will be no threats in the report file. It is worth thinking about replacing the antivirus.
- There will be threats in the report file, but the “avp.exe” process will not be listed. You can continue to work, trusting the developer.
- The report file contains both viruses and the avp.exe process. Kaspersky failed. Do I need such an antivirus?
Double protection
If the utility is Dr.Web CureIt! did not work, and there is no desire to change the anti-virus because of the acquired license for several years, there is an option that a “battle of the titans” takes place in the system, which loads “avp.exe”. What it is? This is when several antiviruses are installed and running on the system. Kaspersky, as a more powerful application, creates a virtual environment with its process and immerses a weaker competitor into it. In such cases, it will help to study the section "Startup", which is run from the command line - "msconfig". By examining each line and looking for answers among like-minded people, you can find and fix the problem. It is worth noting that the latest Windows operating system has a built-in "Defender". It may also conflict with third-party antivirus. It is temporarily disabled through the control panel.
The radical decision in the blessing of productivity
If there are no viruses in the system, and Kaspersky does notallows you to work normally at a computer, selecting all system resources for your needs, it is worth thinking about the complete elimination of “avp.exe”. What is it, why does the developer allow himself to produce a low-quality product? There are a lot of alternative solutions, most of them are effective and free. Naturally, all free antiviruses need to be downloaded only from the official site of the developer.
- Avast.Over the past few years, judging by the numerous reviews in the media and user reviews, occupies a leading position among similar antiviruses. Free copy is enough for the needs of the system.
- Avira. Second place after the leader. Also has both paid and free versions. Practically does not spend system resources.
- Panda Cloud Antivirus. A favorite of all Windows administrators. Along with high efficiency in the search for viruses has its own firewall.
Finally
Having dealt with the problems of the process “avp.exe ”, what it is and how to eliminate it, each user is faced with a choice - to continue using Kaspersky or switch to another antivirus. Owners who have purchased an anti-virus license must contact customer support and solve the problem according to the law. But the owners of PCs that use unlicensed software, absolutely nothing to lose. A radical solution will save problems.
