AVG using an insane amount of disc on my PC

Hi Brixton,

We're glad to look into this & help you.
Please let us know the operating system & version of AVG installed on your computer. (Open AVG - Menu - About).
Sometimes, this might happen due to several reasons such as outdated windows, programs, multiple security software, etc.
There cannot be multiple protection program on the same computer, as they'll compete for resources, conflict with each other & none will work effectively.
Hence, we'd suggest you to check & remove, if there are any other antivirus installed on your computer.
If not, please try repairing AVG program once & check the disc usage. If issue persists, share us the screenshot of the task manager showing the disc usage for better clarity.

"AVG Service" has been using an INSANE amount of my disc space. It typically stays well above 10 and even sometimes 20 mb/s for an extended amount of time, normally when I first start my computer. After a while it will fall back down to about 1 mb/s or less. When this happens it slows my PC down dramatically. In fact, navigating from task manager to google and to this site took around 4-5 minutes because I was having multiple problems of programs not responding and just overall slow performance. Is there any way to fix this and at least make it take less disc space?
