AVG FREE 8.0 problem MZB 06-02-2008

I just installed this program.

When I open a few windows in my browser, everything slows to a crawl.

I assume this is due to a larger footprint?

Any suggestions? Should I disable some features?

Or should I switch to a different free program (is there one that's better
and won't slow things down?)

Interesting.

It slowed down again and using task manager I see 99% of the CPU is taken up
with avgrsc.exe

Just disable the link scan part.
See if that doesn't pep it up back to normal.
