AVG8 does not only seem to be making the pc run slower but the update download&  installation  seems to be slower. S'pose that's all part of the slower running..
perhaps we need to post the link to this thread to grisoft.

I think this thread would get lost amongst all the other complaints on the grisoft forums.  Has anyone else been reading them??

Along with a more colorful interface, the new program added some new features - a combined Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware protection engine, LinkScanner Search-Shield safe search protection, plus the AVG Security Toolbar - which were previously only available in AVG commercial versions


According to this article there 3 extra things running in addition to the Anti-Virus program.  I guess they require extra resources.

How can one get rid of their toolbar please?  Can't see why I need it .  Takes up screen space.
 Is it possible to do this and if so, how[simple explanations please]

Disregard what I just asked about the toolbars- it's obvious and I've now done it.
Let's just say the early morning coffee hadn't taken effect when I asked the dumb question.
Thanks,
