Drax: By any chance did you upgrade from AVG 9 to AVG 2011, recently?
I have used AVG for several years, chosen by me for least interference in the data streams going to/from the disk drives. That is, least slow-down in disk data transfer rates. Norton was abysmal on this criteria. I just upgraded to AVG 2011, and I note that it appears to do a lot of background scanning if the computer is otherwise quiet. Supposedly something like the Microsoft Indexing "Service" does. Unfortunately my definition of a quiet computer is different than Microsoft's or AVG's. They think it is quiet if no keys are being pressed or the mouse is not being moved. Unfortunately, I might have been monitoring a frequency on PowerSDR, without pushing or moving anything, and all these "services" including AVG 2011 would start up, and create CPU loading problems in my old Pentium D. I got tired of chasing and choking services in my spare time, instead of operating my radios, so I recently upgraded to a hex-core Phenom-II so I don't care as much, anymore. --- Graham == On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 6:34 PM, Drax Felton <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been using AVG on all my systems for the past three years. > > Only within the last couple days have I had a problem.
