AVG Slows your pc? No, It doesn’t! See how it won’t slow your computer…

There are plenty of people who have tried AVG 9.0. In my country, everyone always say that AVG slows their computer down. For me, I have been using AVG for almost 5 years now and find no issue on this antivirus program. I gotta say that I used it since it is in version 7. It was a breakthrough for AVG! I used a free version of AVG but everything was fine with my pc so I have been constantly updating and using AVG since then. In fact, I have used McAfee and Norton for years, but it was no use. I think AVG license is pretty cheaper than other programs and I can count on this program. Moreover, it does not demand much of my computer resource and it is easy to use (Friendly User Interface), easy to manage and easy to update its virus database.
Back to my topic; Most of my friends usually argue about the slowness of their PCs after using AVG. In fact, it doesn’t slow your computer down, but there is just something you don’t know happen in the background.

Now, I would tell you why you experience slowness:

1-    After completely installed AVG, it asks you to run a full scan and schedule it regularly. But, you don’t really care about it and you just click ‘Yes’ and ‘Next’ and then, installation finishes. Therefore, next time you start AVG, there will be a full scan of your computer in the background that reduces the speed of your PC. You can also notice an icon in the taskbar showing that AVG is scanning as well.

Anyway there is a resolution for this! First of all, stop this scanning. And go to AVG. Go to ‘Tools’ and ‘Advanced Setting’. There, you’ll find a list in the left. Choose ‘Schedules’ then ‘Scheduled Scan’. UNCHECK ‘Enable this task’ and finally, hit OK.

2-    When you are scanning your PC, you can always change your PC speed. When you are scanning, AVG provides speed option for you to choose from. If you are working on something whilst AVG is scanning, you could possibly set to ‘Slow Scan’ and that won’t slow your computer down (but scanning will take longer time to finish). If you don’t work on anything whilst scanning, why don’t choose fast scanning? But if you are not sure, there is already an option that chooses for you automatically. It is ‘Automatic’.

3-    You may cancel ‘Scheduled Scan’. AVG does not recommend this. But I do recommend this because AVG is already a safeguard. Just run a full scan once in a month, and it is enough.
Thus, you won’t find it slows your computer again. And you probably love it just like I do.
