It's free. Get it and try it. Uninstall if you don't like it. Be sure to
disable your other anti-virus (stop it's components from loading at startup)
while using AVG or any other product, so you don't get conflicts.
I barely know AVG is there.
It does take longer to scan than AVG 6 did, unless I change the priority
in XP's Task Manager. Giving it higher priority speeds up the scanning but
slows down my computer. It's a trade off. So, I set a high priority, and have it scan
when I'm not using the computer... like when eating supper, watching a movie, etc.
If scanning when I want to use the computer I leave the priority at normal and
it has negligible effect on other apps., but takes longer.
