You could try using Avast!, maybe it would work better for you?

Also, I remember AVG mistaking the NES emulator FCE Ultra for a virus

A very specific version, that is.

AVG shouldn't use too much resources unless your computer is especially terrible. It might signal that something else is wrong. But if the antivirus is compromised anyway, you may as well get a better one since it obviously failed at it's job.

Hm. It isn't bad on my computer. I'm using the full version (7.5 Internet Security) but one of these "avgrssvc.exe" files is always using a crapload of more memory than the other one.

*Checks* Yep, one of them is at 2.8mb and the other one is at 92mb.

"agressive.exe"? Well what does that specific process do?

It seems to be the anti-virus process itself.



I'm using Clamwin since it by default doesn't get in my way, though I'm not sure if I would recommend it to the average Windows user.

Since this is my topic, I'd like to ask who the fuck Lid is.
