Grisoft AVG

[Malcolm]

Hi Folks,

I am running Windows XP HE and using Grisoft AVG. I have all the
latest updates for XP & AVG. Problem is when I boot the computer and
start XP and logon it sometimes takes 3 or 4 minutes before AVG
finishes loading. If I am not paying attention this will cause other
programs I have started to fail. Has anyone else seen this problem. I
can find no help at Grisoft as this is the free version. I am also
running Zone Alarm with all updates but this does not appear to be the
problem, as after the delay AVG always loads first.

You may say so. It is not a widely held view

Hi Greg,

Worked OK for a few boot ups then started the same old problem. it
takes 3 or 4 minutes to finish loading AVG & Zone Alarm. I have the
latest updates for both. If I shut off AVG or uninstall it all is
well.

You might want to try the free version of Avast. It runs much smoother for
me than AVG did. http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

Hi Ted,

I did download and install it and it solved my problem. I am just kind
of stubborn and want to find out the problem with AVG and I am used to
it. Is the Avast reliable at catching viruses? Plenty of updates ?
