I actually got rid of AVG about two months ago, after running it for years.....it started acting goofy and bloated.

I replaced it with Avast, and all seems good.

The new AVG is so streamlined and smart. I’ve used AVG for 8+years and I’ve worked for many many years in the ‘computer’ industry. I’ve never heard of Avast, but, hey...if it works for you, then great. Speaking of “bloated”, Norton and McAfee bloated-away years ago, in my opinion.

We had to dump AVG after they released a patch that was not compatible with Windows 7. Switched to Avast. Really like it, after turning off the update notice sound, that is! Son runs it on his Droid, too, haven’t heard any complaints from him.

I noticed that too, with AVG. The ID protection was sucking up a lot of cycles. I disabled the ID protection because my IP's "toolkit" installed its own.

I'm assuming they were in conflict.

Since I actively check the AVG at least once a week, I make sure it stays disabled.
