Go to safe mode, uninstall it, and pick ANYTHING ELSE (if you just can’t stand going to a Linux system instead). Seriously, this is 300MB of bloat that does nothing but sit there and makes itself look busy. I have NEVER had a serious ‘virus’ capture from it, while Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and CCleaner have both been more successful at tracker and trojan captures than it. We won’t even talk about it now turning into spyware with heavy ‘web site monitoring’ efforts it now conducts. It scans frequently, every time it updates itself, it runs a memory and systems scan, and in general, it is AT LEAST as bad as most cookie schemes you’ll ever see. It doesn’t promote a serious anti-root kit tool, and it is GIGANTIC for an AV program (over 300-MB!). It CONSTANTLY runs program updates for itself (that you cannot stop, because if you do, it will beat you to death with nag screens that your AV protection is no longer updating), and even in the paid version, it is worse ad-ware than a Juarez site. But, with each passing year, it went from a 4-star to a 1-star program. AVG was, in it’s earlier incarnations, a great (free) antivirus program.
