Unfortunately, the antivirus component of OneCare has one of the lowest
catch rates in the industry.

To the OP: We use Avast on a lot of machines and don't see the slow-down
you are experiencing. You could see if Avast has any user forums or try
a different antivirus. NOD32 and Kaspersky are recommended.
