I ran AVG for a number of years... 8 was ok, but then had a problem
with it going into a loop and could never get any support, even though I
had a paid license... I finally removed and reinstalled AVG 8 and it
was ok. Then when 9 came out it was just too slow and they wanted more
money for the non-support, so I dumped them and went to Kaspersky...
One thing to check is that you don't have multiple things doing web link
checking... For example I think it's Flash updates that now try to
install McAfee's Link advisor. Then you can get multiple things
checking each link and devouring your machine....

Hi
Ive got a TP600, maxxed on ram. Most of the time it runs XP Home and it does it
very well.
I installed AVG as an anti-virus. I have used it for every Windows machine but
they have all been higher powered than this TP.
XP ran well - well enough - until I put AVG on it. It really chugs now.
Is this normal? Does AVG 9 take a lot of juice?
