Internet very slow since updating AVG from 8.5 to 9

[osprey4]

I installed the updated AVG last night. Since then, our internet access (FIOS) has been extremely slow. I thought it was just me but my wife is complaining about not being able to access certain sites and overall sluggishness today.

Anyone else seen a problem?

Did she do the update too?

Sorry, this was on our shared computer, so both of our accounts are impacted.

This is AVG free and I also use ZA free.

I ditched AVG and installed Avast and everything seems to be good.

you might want to upgrade your RAM

I upgraded to 9 and now IIS is slow and Visual Studio 2008 hangs a lot. I am going to try and uninstall and go back to 8.5 and see if it fixes it.

I am not 100% sure, but here is what I did:

Disabled link scanner (and right clicked to ignore the state).

For the past 1/2 hour, I have had no problems with IIS and Visual Studio debugging, like I was having every 2 or 3 runs before.

So, I think if you disable the link scanner, it will work.

My machine has 8GB of RAM (2GB in the virtual machine). RAM is not the issue.

It appears to be a problem with the LinkScanner.

I think the same too.. maybe it's your RAM.. I can't use NORTON before because my RAM was only 338mb.. now I bought an HP comp. with 2gb a hard disk of 320gb and processor of INTEL dual core(2.6 GHz.) and it went fine with NORTON.. can anyone here tell me if NORTON is a better choice?

Thank you guys!

Guys, more RAM does not solve this sort of problem.

Anyway, Avast seems to be doing just fine.
