Hi Mark,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community.
This isn't the experience we want you to have. We'd like to look into this & help you.
AVG AntiVirus for Android is designed to have minimal impact on battery life. Testing across multiple devices shows that all services by this app generally take up less than 5% of battery consumption (by comparison, the Launcher can take up about 15% and Gmail about 8%). AVG AntiVirus can reach maximally 20% battery usage at the peak of CPU use (about 30-60 seconds).
If you prefer, you can try reinstalling AVG Antivirus once & check if it helps.
Hi
As of lately my AntiVirus battery usage has gone sky high & it never previously has.
Am finding having to recharge phone a lot more than normal which am finding really annoying.
This never used to happen?
How can this be rectified?
