Having run the free version of AVG for some time with no problems I foolishly decided to pay for AVG Internet Security and downloaded it a few days ago. Since then the computer runs like the proverbial tar going up a hill. I am also baffled by msgs asking if I will allow programs to access the internet when there is no obvious reason (to me) that they should. For instance why would Olympus Master 2 want to access the internet when the camera is not in use ?
The new program has scanned twice since being downloaded and reports nothing dire - usual 200 odd 'potential threats' which I believe are a fact of life if one accesses the internet ?
I also have Windows Defender, Ad-Aware and Spybot installed and wonder if I should remove any of them as there might be a conflict ?
I have an ADSL router which I believe works as a firewall.
Any information to assist this computer illiterate will be gratefully received !
