  Yes, Avast antivirus software can impact cryptocurrency mining on your computer. As a security measure, Avast scans and monitors your system for potential threats, including crypto-mining malware. While this is beneficial for protecting your computer, it can also interfere with legitimate mining software. Avast may flag mining programs as suspicious or unwanted, leading to reduced mining performance or even blocking the software entirely. To ensure smooth mining operations, you can add an exception for your mining software in Avast or temporarily disable the antivirus while mining. However, keep in mind that disabling your antivirus exposes your computer to other risks, so it's important to find a balance between security and mining efficiency.
