AVG antivirus messing up my computer?

I downloaded this stupid free antivirus, and I think it is messing up my computer. My computer is slower, and a lot of the times my CPU percentage is at 100 even when I'm not doing anything, and it's all cuz of the program. My dad installed it to his computer, and when he removed it, it completely ruined his computer. You almost can't even use it cuz it's so slow. I want to remove this program, but I don't know the best way to do it so I don't have the same problem as my dad. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance :)

I have AVG and I love it, it really causes no problems at all for me. You might want to make sure you don't have any viruses or malware, those are biggies when it comes to slowing down your machine. I guess if you have an older computer, it could be using a lot of the resources from it, but still...It would help to have the specs (memory, processor speed, OS, other programs running) to figure out if AVG is the cause or not.

Also, to remove it you would go to start%26gt;control panel%26gt;Add or Remove programs.

Good luck, whatever you decide.

The program scans almost all, if not all, files on your PC. It is more likely that you have a slow processor or a small amount of memory, meaning that every program trying to run are making more demands on limited resources available.
