Hello Marcus,

First of all, please make sure that there is no other antivirus software installed on your PC. It is generally not recommended to use more than one security solution on a single system. They will compete for resources, which may result in slowdowns, crashes or in no protection at all.
If you do not have a conflicting antivirus software, please monitor if AVG is running a virus scan on your PC which consumes more resources than usual. We'd also like to inform you that our shields will continuously run in the background, keep scanning some thousands of files every minute as you use the computer. Also, open your Task Manager and check which process is consuming most of your system resources. Keep us updated.
