Massive disk usage on start up - what can I do?

Hello Vicki,

We're happy to help.
During the computer startup, AVG will run a full computer scan in the background to make sure your computer is completely protected. That's the reason why it utilizes more system resources at the startup. This is the normal behavior of AVG.
We suggest you refer to this article to know more about it.
Thank you.

Yes am on the free programme but would probably pay for a service if it wasnt for the fact AVG uses almost all my disk space on start up and is seriously slowing my laptop. Literally 100s of MBs. Can't find any answers anywhere on how to fix. Beginning to wonder if its deliberate so I'll pay for a clean up service!
