New AVG 8.0 has crippled my PC

AVG 8.0 is proving it's self to be a lemon. I've been reading on other forums that people are going as far as to re-format their hard drives to get rid of it.

Just to let everyone know that all my computer functions seem to be working fine again with the free AVAST antivirus software running.
I have been on and made changes on my church web site, and I have also put a few items on EBay today and all the features seem to be working at normal speed.
I again want to thank everyone for your input.
I had no problems uninstalling the AVG 8.0 antivirus, and installing the new AVAST. It all worked better than I anticipated.
After a few days of virus scanning, and seeing how it all is working I will know for sure if I like the new program.
Best wishes to you all.

Do you have "Threatfire" installed. That could be the problem. See this post:
