It would random use around 10% processing power just idle in the background, creating massive lag when I play games and I can't disable the complete system scan that initiates itself every time I boot into windows. Also, the complete system scan takes FOREVER to complete (Hours after hours after hours...), and I remember using Mcfee it only took at most 2 hours.
How do I frigging optimize AVG...:frusty:
I only use it because it's free...
same, i went back to zone alarm because i had too many problems with it, and after uninstalling it, it's still showing 2 running processes :blink:
I started out using AVG and had the same problems. i heard a quote once, "AVG isnt worth the price you pay for it" lol.
Anyway, ive been running NOD32 ever since, smallest memory usage of all the good anti-virus software. highly recommend it.
Apparently Kaspersky is one of the best, I may have a go at it.

I use avg and have no problems, of course I have it schedualed to run its scan starting at 3:30am because I have three hard drives, and I only leave it run over night if I'm downloading something. Your problem could be caused by alot of unnecessary files, cluttered registry and fragmented hard drive. So before you give a free gift the boot, clean up the drive and defrag with something like Perfect disk that will defrag system files and the page file as well during a boot. If the drives are fragmented Avg has to search out all the fragments, jumping all over the drive, in order to check for viruses.
Nod32 is free too.. :)
Will give it a try:DQuote:
