I had to upgrade from AVG 7 to AVG 8 recently because my 2 year
subscription ran out and ever since then the computer seems to be
running annoyingly slow. It wasn't so slow on AVG 7. Is it a problem
with my computer being relatively old, celeron 2.4ghz and 500mb ram or
could it be something else not related?

I have just this last two days experienced a problem with AVG 8 on a Vista
machine I posted a query on this on the
'microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance' news group.

However my cure was to uninstall AVG 8 and then system restore to the point
before AVG 8 was installed - It seemed as if AVG 8 had affected Windows
Explorer as opening windows was very slow. I would suggest uninstalling
AVG 8 to see if it resolves your problem

Back to normal speed with AVG8(not free) removed.

I have all the updates installed that have been offered via the windows
update site - including SP1 however I don't appear
to have this particular update (KB929547) installed.

I tried to download and install it but the 'Windows Update Standalone
Installer' reports that it does not apply to my system ?
So I can't try this to see if it solves the problem with AVG8 .

In the meantime I am still using AVG 7.5 and of course now experiencing the
nagging pop ups telling me to install V8.
How do you permanently switch these off?
