I think it's not a 16Bit/32Bit issue. My F-Prot runs also in the 16bit Dos Version and is much faster than AVG. (I tested it Communigate Pro and not with Imail/Declude) Try to run AVG from the command line and then you know what I mean. Type this at the command promt: C:\Progra~1\Grisoft\AVG6\avg.exe /NOMEM /NOSELF /ARC /REPORT=report.txt *.123 The scanning itself takes less than 1sec, but the startup takes 2seconds. When AVG starts up, it also shows the following: AVG_6_0_Dos32_Init (c) GRISOFT, s.r.o,1999-2003 Does it mean that it runs in 32bit mode or does it just detect a 32bit dos environment?

It takes AVG approx. 3 seconds to start up before scanning compared to 1 second for the other scanners. The scanning itself seems to be fast, it's just the start-up. Is this normal? Has anyone else the same performance problem? Thanks for your help.
