Only the first time scanning, AVG were slow down your computer. Depends of your hard drive. If you have a big hard drive, it were take a long time.

This morning was the first time that AVG 8 scanned my computer at the time I selected. For most of the morning my computer was slowed down and I could hear my hard drive of my laptop working - even when I was not doing anything at the computer. Not sure - could this be related to AVG.? How long does the scan take? With AVG 7.5 there was the daily automatic scan; my work was briefly interrupted, but then I could carry on as before.
