Wow....what a classic example of fixing something that ain't broke. This thing has multiple issues from what I've read and also what I've experienced some. Apparently, if you really want to stick with AVG, you'll want to DL it from their mainsite vs. and DL host sites. Also, don't install the SafeSearch if you can avoid it. Some users are reporting browser slow down. Plus, this thing is a mem usage whore. (Check screen shot below). The big drawback for me was losing the flexibility of it in the systray. When it's gone from there it's gone. So when the only way to truly shut it down is from the Task Manager (and it doesn't show up under the Applications tab) in that same list.....there's no way to reactivate if I want to, even from the AVG control panel. It shows it's off, Windows XP shows no anti-virus is active, but there's no simple "ON" button for it.
Pretty poor AVG.... like I said if it ain't broke...don't fix it.
Anyone have any new AV programs (besides Avast) they want to mention that they've had good experiences with?
