Excessive CPU usage

Since the update yesterday, AVG uses all spare CPU capacity on my desktop meaning that the CPU fan is running flat out continuously. This is completely unacceptable behaviour. I have tried a repair but that has not improved matters. If there is no solution I will have to remove the software and demand a refund of my payment!

Hello Neil,
To confirm are you having 2 AVG Protection in the Control panel? If so please run the remover tool http://files-download.avg.com/util/tools/AVG_Remover.exe to remove the AVG protection old version from your computer to fix the issue.
Thank you.

Thank you. 
There ere two instanmces of AVG running - how that can occur is beyond me. Maybe you ask your developers to make a simple check during installation to ensure this cannot happen. Removing one instance has also allowed a p[articular program to connect to the Internet where it could not previously.

Hi Neil,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused, please check that you have only one AVG Protection in your control panel. Also try repairing http://avgread.me/1BVxDSY your AVG once and check the issue.

Thank you!

OK Neil, No probs… Pleased to see that you appear to be now sorted. Thanks for returning to Community & posting.
