AVG Anti-Virus...Why does it seem it makes my computer slow?
pitchblack:
Its odd...my dad has the AVG Anti-Virus open and it is running a scan and it seems everything is so much slower when its scanning.But it doesn't even have a window open.Just a thing near the clock... ._.
TapeDeck:
You don't need a window open for a program to be active. Its scanning so it should be expected to make your computer a little slower.
Jimmg:
AVG, has that new fangled live scan.
Antallion:
because when avg runs a can it slows everything down
it uses processing power
