When AVG updates computer slows to crawl

Hello Peter,
Could you please confirm us whether you are trying to schedule your program update using your AVG Free program? If so please be informed that there are no options for scheduling the program update on the AVG Free program as it is only available on the paid version of the AVG program.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hello Peter,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Schedule updates are available in our latest version of AVG Free Antivirus.
We request you to completely reinstall AVG free program using our AVG remover tool.

hi there
I am running Win 10 Pro and AVG free version
Thank you for this product it's great!
I have a problem I can't seem to resolve in the 'options', namely when AVG updates, I believe the program, not the definitions, the computer slows to a crawl for some 5 - 10 minutes or how ever long the updating process goes.
May I kindly ask how can I select a scheduled time, so the updating program is done when I am not busy
kindest thanks, cheers

Peter, It's my mistake, I apologize for the information provided in my post.
We can only schedule the definitions updates but we couldn't schedule program updates on Free version of AVG.

Thank you so much for understanding and accepting my apologies.
Unfortunately it is not possible to stop automatic updates on our AVG free program.

ok m8,
thanks for the fast reply, and I forgive you <smiles>

next question if I may…
Can I stop the automatic program update completely.

I really do not want to leave AVG, but I can't work with your product if it is going to constantly hijack my computer, and almost freeze it for some 10 minutes so often

PLEASE, tell me there is a solution in the free ver to vercome this ghastly annoyance

thanks so much again, cheers
