Avira is slowing my computer down

Hello I have been using Avira antivirus free for a long time and I have had this problem since I started noticing. I always keep Task Manager open and never close it so if I notice slow down of my laptop I will monitor. Most of the times it would be windows update or Avira's OnDemand Scanner Process or Host Framework Service. I can't end both of those Avira processes and they eat my cpu and disk. Every time I launch any app(after a long time), it scans it(or that's what I think it does) and makes the startup of the app very slow. When I reset my Laptop a few months back, I didn't install Avira for a day and app launch was very fast that day. Ever since I installed Avira it became so slow. Please give a option to not scan every damn app that I launch.

  Hello Icy,

  Sadly, you haven't provided any detailed information about your used operating system as well as your used applications. So please provide as much information as possible to figure out what's wrong.
