I have no idea where to find this AVG removal tool and all these website are like trying to understand a foreign language. I am not familiar with how AVG programming works. Can't you deal with it from your end. Also my MG's before all this started was 212 ish. and now you are telling me they need to be 300 MG. My initial problem was AVG was clogging up my computer. Why would I want more MG's to clog it up more?
So I am good to go? I still have AVG free?
My AVG antivirus now reads 19.5MB on my task manager. Is that what it should be? Did you re-install AVG Free antivirus?
I do not know what a CPU resource is and I do not know how to share a screenshot of windows task manager. I am using AVG free
My computer tech told me that AVG has clogged my computer with programing and I was wondering how to eliminate unnecessary programs.
Crysty, we apologize for the previous information.
The information we provided was regarding the minimum disk space required to install AVG.
However, 19.5 M usage by AVG Antivirus is the normal behavior. Whenever a virus scan is performed, this might increase a little.
If you see the high CPU usage by AVG again, do proceed with the uninstallation.
I am sure. I don't even have a screenshot key on my computer. I have a toshiba laptop. The button next to my F12 button says INS scroll lock.
