Is AVG8 Anti virus too slow on your computer?

i would go with nod32 free antivirus it dont take over your over like avg does and it can detect alot more. I would also download a antispy where proggram two like spyboy s&d also a popup block add-on in firefox browser would also be good. with these you should be safe.

in reality as virus proection i found good with avg products..till i use..in fact i never had an infection when my avg updated will run on my pc as well!! As regards speed and yoru computer it depends i guess from your configuration ..so sometimes if you will start a deep scan with avg the computer performance can be slow the normal...sometimes i experienced me too..but in general not so slow and so you must quit your work..as regards the downgrade in avg 7 in reality from this point of view i never noticed a really change between the 2 versions so i don't knwo how the downgrade will be useful for you on thsi purpose s and the bad fact is also that for avg 7 you will have really less update of your virus datbase than in the new version and so in soem cases your computer can be exposed to some risks!!

its sometimes cause by a virus... i really don't recommend avg i usually use avast antivirus..

u haven't told your system config... so far AVG 8 works fine with 512mb RAM and above..better use Kaspersky 8 or bit defender.these are very good and smart that detects every virus in your system.. :)
