AVG Anti-Virus...Why does it seem it makes my computer slow?
Crunchie:
I'm running avg, and it's not using up much ram at all

Slower CPUs and lower amounts of RAM = slower computing and less random access memory = slower computer.

If it's scanning, then no stuff, it's going to make your computer slow. -_-
In fact, mine just started a scan now. Osht

I had AVG installed on an ancient laptop of mine, and it would always scan without notifying me. It was irritating because all of a sudden the 1.5ghz Celeron processor was buckling, and I didn't know why. With my current computer I could play Crysis while doing a scan, but I switched to avast! anyway.
