AVG Pro Edition 7

brycen257 · 07-09-2003, 07:33 PM

I had heard a lot about the upcoming AVG edition 7 and was curious to see for myself how well it worked. I downloaded the trial version from the Grisoft website - AVG Professional Single Edition and judging by what the program did to my computer, I have no intention of using this program again or recommending it to anyone.

I ran the virus scan and the program is the worst memory hog I have ever seen over the past several years. Even the games I play on the internet which may demand huge amounts of memory don't require as much as this program. My computer slowed down to a virtual standstill while this was running. My computer is a celeron processor running at 1.2 GHZ. I have 384 Mb of ram memory and a 60 Gb hard drive.

The computer slowed down so much I couldn't open E-Mail or access any other files or programs while this monster was running the virus scan. According to memory booster, AVG was using 194,000,000 bytes of memory while using the scan.This is more than all other programs on my computer combined (actually more than twice all other programs combined.)

I comparison, Internet Explorer was using 21,000,000 bytes and Avast (the program that replaced it was using 22,000,000 bytes.
I can't understand what the reason was for this program to require such huge amounts of memory but I certainly would say that its not acceptable for home users or many business users because it renders the computer unusable while it is running.

I have heard this from other sources. This is a down turn from version 6 if that is the case, because it is easy on the resources. Hopefully, they will improve it.
