Well I have taken the advice of those in the know here and installed Avast. It's works better than AVG and seems a whole lot quicker.

Yup, all snorted now. Didn't like the toolbar it plonked at the top of my browser, but thats easily removed.

How do you get rid of it permanently?

View, Toolbars then deselect the one you don't want.

What is wrong with paying for it? Why should a company spend hours making something to keep your PC safe, and you expect it for free?

companys make free ones to entice people, its their own fault if they start chraging and people download a different free tool that does exactly the same...therefore its pointless paying for something thats free anyway!

That's not how I went about it.

It does slow down browsing/loading speed considerably, so I did this;
down-menu to right of AVG, select 'options', select 'advanced' from that, and deselect checks from both boxes.
Presto, back up to speed, and I can just run the antivirus when I feel like it, just like before.
