Ilya,
Could you please share a screenshot ( http://avgclick.me/getscreenshot ) of the Windows performance tools results to check them and assist you further?

I found my PC boots pretty slow, so I used Windows Performance Toolkit to profile it.
What I found is "avgrsa.exe" reads every single file in "Installer" folder.
This folder is used by Windows Installer to store distributions of installed applications (.msp and .msi files).
I have 2 drives, so I moved Installer folder from small and fast SSD to big and slow HDD since I was pretty sure I will never need to access these files but only to uninstall apps.
And now each boot avg reads them. It takes ~ 15 seconds, so my PC boots about 20 seconds (versus ~ 5 seconds with out of AVG).
I can move Installer back to SSD, but it takes ~ 15GB. What I am trying to understand:
* What is the reason to read all install files?
* Can I disable it somehow?
