There is always "I change my mind, I want Avira to start early!" Or "Avira is starting early, and it is slowing down my computer!" The question is: how do you change the way it starts?


Start -> Run -> Type cmd.

In cmd type as follows:

1. cd *enter*

2. cd c:\Program Files *enter*

3. cd Avira *enter*

4. cd Antivir Desktop *enter*

5. avconfig.exe /WIZARD *enter*

If you did this correctly, you should see a dialogue box like the one below come up.



Click next several times until you see the "Guard Start Mode." You can select either "Normal start" or "Secure Start."
