I recently upgraded from AVG free to paid AVG Internet Security for my desktop. I added it to my laptop as well. Both now take a long time connecting to any web site that is typed into the address bar. Both connected very fast before. I have checked my internet speeds on Speedtest.net and they range from 175-200 Mbps. Could AVG be the cause for the slowdown? If so how can I correct? Thanks
Hello Jim,
I understand the inconvenience.
We can confirm this by disabling AVG Antivirus free temporarily as mentioned in this article: http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-use-Passive-Mode .
If the internet speed works like before then we can confirm that AVG is causing the issue and proceed further.
Keep us informed about the status.
