Re: AVG 8 EXTREMELY slow?

said by reef69 :

It looks nice but.....
Total Object Scanned: 527,702
Time Needed: 3 hour(s) 42 min(s)

AVG 7.5 took 1 hour
I realize AVG 8 scans for spyware as well (hence the longer scan time).Should be an option for scanning for viruses and another option just for spyware.

I have a mini ITX machine with Epia 5000 Motherboard that I use as a file server. Not a powerful machine but has served me well ans is extremely low power consumption.

Under 7.5 a full system scan used to take bout 4 hours so from 3am to about 7am the machine was very slow.

Since "upgrading" to version 8, the full system scan now takes 17 hours !!! This means the machine is now totally unusable and I will be looking for alternative AV software
