Hester Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Has anyone downloaded the new AVG 2011? If so I would be interested to know if you have had any problems since. My computer has slowed down considerably and every time that I switch on Windows security centre pops up the red shield to inform me that my firewall is not switched on. This only seems to last a few seconds before it comes back on. If you have any advice to help me rectify this problem I would be grateful as I always get jittery when I think that my computer might not have enough security. Thanks Hester.

It is just to do with the sequence in which services start.RegardsPickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I am running AVG 2011, they have obviously acted on the criticism that it slowed the pc too much. Quicker than Kapersky 2010 (paid version). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hester Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Many thanks for the replies. I can stop worrying about the pop-up! Looks as though it is something other than AVG that has slowed down my computer. Regards, Hester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
