Game periodically freezes ike every 0.2~ seconds

[substance abuser]

as title says, my game freezes every 0.2~ seconds, i dont see a red clock, my fps never drops down 100 and ping is stable 70~

if i wasnt clear about the problem, to make it even clearer, when villager is mining a gold mine, it looks like the miner has only 3 different frames to mine it which makes it look like a powerpoint presentation.

the game doesn't crash nor getting near to crashing, it just looks like something visual but i can tell it affects my gameplay.

in further note, this problem happens since beginning of game, but i can tell it gets even worse on to late game.

also very rarely but sometimes game completely freezes for like 3 seconds, then every unit goes to where it supposed to be 3 seconds later.

help please i can't enjoy the game anymore playing like this.

EDIT: Thanks to @Gandalf I found the solution, now its fixed; I was using Kaspersky antivirus programme, added AoE2: DE to the list of Kaspersky's trusted applications list and all freezing is gone.

Perhaps get a super strong, beefy PC? Topped off with fast Internet.

Game seems to need a strong PC.

My PC already meets the system requirements of the game more than it should, i also have a friend who has even worse PC than me still he don't have a problem like this.

I just picked it up during the sale and tried a 1v1 on a small map vs AI and get the same issue. Every 30-60 seconds there's a very obvious 1-2 pause, even early on where not much going on aside from some workers gathering. It's annoying enough that I'm going to refund it there's not a fix/workaround. My PC hardware is more than adequate to run this game.

As you can see I have a similar (probably the same) issue.
Let's try to nail the cause:
What antivirus client do you have?
Where are you from?

I am seeing an issue that there is a hang for 1-3 seconds and then everything that happened during that period suddenly "catches up" as in villagers, military, even the sound move in xtra fast speed until caught up. it seems to happen every few minutes.

exactly the same, even though this happens rare to me, the mini-freezes happens a lot more.

I will try disabling malwarebytes to see if this fixes the issue. Thanks for the info.
