might also be something to do with this

AVG scanner blasts internet with fake traffic | The Register

though i doubt it would 'slow' your computer.

i recently installed avg after uninstalling corporate norton (twas out of date by about 15 months) and pretty damn quickly uninstalled it again after my laptop turned into digital porridge with extra molasses. i am now going commando but haven't noticed anything untoward except speed increases. infact that is rather untoward for windows.

I'm sticking with it. There's been no major slow-up with my laptop and i'd rather it was protected by something i'm comfortable with.

I'm sure it'll stabilize further in the future.

Avoid anything that would give your computer virus and you can avoid needing AV software! It's great!

Or just put a virtual machine on your pc, then delete all the changes once you had your fix of porn, surfing, whatever else you do on the interweb.

Winner.
