Hi. I had been using avg free for over 6 ys. I had w7 home system, and latest avg free version.
I install latest security windows update.
One day, my computer start to block, to halt completely.
No possible user interaction, no mouse, not click on anything is possible.
So I had to shutdown by pressing the button.
I check process and i find that avgsvc process start to take private bytes,
and in some moment, it takes more than 4 GB and the computer block
I read some post here, saying i should leave the computer to operate and do whatever it should do and it all going to get back, and run properly.
That day i leave my computer 6 hours with these operation (constantly hard drive working, without any second leaving the sound and light of been working)
No other program or web site where executing.
I do a lot of checks and avg is the issue here.
so i uninstall it, and everything work. No halt anymore.
I reinstall and, again halt.
I do a repair after reintall and it seems to work but, a few days later, again, when init my computer, it blocks it all.
