hi, i use AVG but only the firewall and anti virus. i use different spyware and spam filters, in fact i don't have spyware detection software running in the background at all! i just urn it as and when. i use cloudmark as my spam filter and don't have any problems there. i have no problems with performance. i had the opposite problem with nod32 to steve nutt, i found it caused more problems than it solved. guess it's all different for different people! smile. i'd try shutting down AVG and see if it makes any difference to your performance before finding it guilty. smile. kevin (lord L) "Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice." - will durant email/msn: kream@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2007 9:53 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: AVG Professional Hi Gordon, AVG always slowed my machine down. Trouble is, you don't always realise it, until you change. When I put Nod32 on, the machine flew in comparison. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.

I like it and it's accessible, but I think it's slowing my computer down quite badly. Just in case it's my machine needing renewed can anyone let me know if they're having the same difficulty? Thanks.
