Thanks everyone
I am running windows vista Home Premium
My computer is a Medion, with AMD athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core Processor. 1.87GB,
I have been thrilled with the speed of this computer, until lately.

Graphics ATI Radeon Express 1250
Gaming graphics 831 MB total available graphics memory
Primary hard disk 217 free of 274 GB total.

Hope this helps some.
I am thinking I will try to go back to AVG 7.5 today. I never had any problems with it.
Thanks for any information
Jack
