Re: AVG 8 EXTREMELY slow?

Yeah, the SCAN was quick enough ( along with the scary reg hacks " ActiveX Compatability " from SB S&D and SWB kill bits ), but it slagged the speed of my laptop on all sites - Weather.com even crapped out, fer C.S.!.

I like a quick and thorough on-demand SCAN, but the resident AV sluggardlyness ( I know, but it sounds good ) is a dealbreaker.

1.7 GHz Celeron
XP SP2
2 GB RAM

I have a faster desktop, but it too shall wait and see.

And having to delete Reg entries for Ewido / AVGAS to get 8.0 to load is piss poor - it just ain't ready - Sorry.
