Hi,
lately I'm quite annoyed by the quicklaunch, in fact if I don't open it for
long time it takes almost 1 minute to open.
Of course avg8 plays its role on it but I wonder if someone had the same
problem and was able to relieve it.

I assume you're not "opening the QuickLaunch" but you're clicking an icon
located on the QuickLaunch Bar. If so, a few further details would be
helpful, e.g.
- Do you experience the delay with all items on the QuickLaunch Bar?
- What happens when you invoke the same application by its icon on the
Desktop?
- Does the delay happen in Safe Mode too?

It would be a good idea to launch the Task Manager and to tick the
Performance tab. What CPU loading do you get during the delay? If it is
close to 100, which process consumes so much CPU time? You can tell by
examining the active processes under the "Processes" tab.

Well, I click on the double arrows that open the popup of the quicklaunch

I don't know why I didn't think about it myself, I must be really tired
these days.
It turns out that the culprits are comodo defense+ and avg8.
If not permanently disabled defense+ still adds pending files to its list of
files and if the list grows big it drammatically slows down certain
operations.
On the other hand my quicklaunch contains about 40 links and avg, that is
gotten quite slower, takes a large amount of time to check them all.
Bah!
