AVG is hogging my system and I can't do anything!

Hello Arthur,

I am sorry for the inconvenience caused.
To disable AVG Internet Security 2017 temporarily please follow the instructions as mentioned in this article: http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-use-Passive-Mode .
You can also disable each component by getting into settings. Open AVG Internet Security dashboard and click on "Menu–>Settings–>Components.
You can click on left side of green cursor to turn off component.
Please check on control panel "Uninstall Program" window whether there are two entries of AVG Internet Security and let us know the status of it.

AVG recently updated on my Windows 10 PC's.
One of them has now gone mad.  It is making a lot of (disc?) noise. From a command prompt I can ping www.google.com.au   but  if I try and do anything on Chrome, it just hangs. (Well I typed Speedtest and got a list of speed test options, but none actually connected. GMAIL won't load.  I opened task manager and see  AVG Service, AVG Anitvirus, Antimalware Service Executable  and OneDrive are using all the CPU.  I quess the problem began when I tried to save a Word document on my OneDrive folder.
It has been doing this for 15 hours.  I tried to Shut down but when I click the OFF symbol nothing happens.  I did a hard shut down (POWER BUTTON HELD DOWN)  but when I restarted, the problem immediately resumed.  But there is no problem on this other computer in the same room using the same network.  There was a notification that the AVG firewall was OFF.
I do not know how to turn off OneDrive or AVG  to see which is the problem!
