Laptop really sluggish

whitelightrider · 2009-10-27 08:23:46

I think Im starting to lose my mind here. I have an Acer laptop which is about 7 months old. But its really sluggish. Watching Youtube or a movie the cpu can jump up to 100% and the picture takes ages to catch up with the vocals. It just seems strange that with the spec below that it hangs alot and the cpu jumps to 100%…

AVG is a serious CPU hog these days. I remember my brother was trying to install Nokia PC Suite on his laptop about a year ago and it was taking over an hour. The Task Manager took over two minutes to come up and when it did, avgrsx.exe was eating 100% of the CPU. They've really gone downhill with 8.0 and later which is a shame as 7.5 was excellent.

Can MS Security Essentials cover all that AVG covers? I noticed the other night what a huge drain on the CPU the AVG scan was causing.

avg free does not detect the virut or sality file infectors, that are out since before the summer, windows essentials detects and heals these infect files, and also spots some of the fake antivirus programs
