AVG - how to disable for manual checks..?

.......ah thanks for that. I take it that, apart from using msconfig, there
isn't a way to prevent the control center from loading and so only using
AVG's application when I decide to launch it...?

That's the very reason why I deinstalled AVG 6 and installed avast! -
www.avast.com - which is free for home use, too.

Thanks for that. Guess that AVG wasn't the most flexible choice - at least
for allowing me to decide when it is going to run or not. I am sure I saw a
post in this group praising AVG for the very feature that I seek....!!!

ah well off to avast

Thanks again for your reply

Well thanks for your help

Maybe I'm expecting too much of AVG or an Anti Virus application in running
as I want it to.

No problem but out of curiosity how much does your client use in terms of
memory whilst running..?

If I'm looking at the processes correctly, I'm only using about 8MB of
memory the way mine is configured. Of course that is at the present, when
there is nothing downloading or automatic update is not running (Autoupdater
uses about 10MB when active). I know in this group, I may get flamed for
saying anything against NOD32, but I used it for about a week and it slowed
my shutdown of WinXP Pro by about 10 seconds. AVK shuts down in about 9
seconds like I've always experienced.

Best non-free AV that I've used is F-Prot for Windows, which is very good on
memory and resourses, but lacks some features that I like about either NOD
or Kaspersky. I've also used the AVG you are using in the free version,
which I believe is almost the same as the commercial version and it ran very
well and is a good program. So you have nothing to worry about, in my
opinion.

We all generally have plenty of memory using Win XP and if not, should buy
another stick to make at least a minimum of 512MB...as far as resourses,
they are there *to* be used...so I don't worry about them.
