In general, the performance depends on many factors (OS type and version, HareWare configuration, other running applications, virus scan in progress etc.). Please check and remove if you have any conflicting antivirus applications installed on your PC. If the issue persists, disable AVG self protection and check if the CPU usage is lower.
To disable AVG self protection, open AVG Internet Security, click Menu > Settings > Troubleshooting. Uncheck "Enable AVG Self protection", and click OK to save the changes.
My laptop with AVG Antivirus is unbelievably slow!!! to the point its virtually impossible to do anything at all on my computer...
Looking under the Task Manager, shows the AVG Service (32 Bit) using between 40% - 60% CPU continuously. I'm actually planning to drop AVG Antivirus and go for an alternative Antivirus software if it is not resolved easily.
Any ideas on how to solve this please??
Thanks!
