AVG VPN

HI, All or to whomever this may concern


The latest AVG VPN update has severely reduced my download speed and slowed the computer enormously!!!

With the VPN off, download hits the usual 50+ Mps. On, it drops to .44Mbps, and, as for streaming - forget it!

Anybody else been a victim of this 'update'?

We seem to be having the same issue, when I speed test connected straight to the modem I get 100Mbps, when I go through a device running AVG, I get 10 Mbps!

Will try the suggested fix
