Why does AVG severely slow my HDD transfer speed?

Thank you for writing back to us, George.

Could you let us know how often this issue occurs?
Does it only happen while you're transferring data or while doing other regular tasks as well?
Also, specify the program version of the AVG Antivirus Free installed on your PC.
Awaiting your response.

Thank you for the details, George.
We suggest you reinstall (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=Install-AVG-AntiVirus-Free&supportType=home) AVG AntiVirus once and check for the issue status.

Firstly, please let us know how you narrowed it down that AVG is causing this issue.
  I  opened Task Manager and found AVG had high CPU and Disk usage.  I disabled AVG and transfer speed increased 6X
