Because of this I want to be very careful, and very clear, that I am only saying that on my XP, SP3 systems (and I tried AM on them both to be sure), the slowdown was noticeable, and it went away when the software was removed.
And still, it is very likely that it all comes down to not only operating system, but also security setup, and probably a few other variables that I am overlooking.
A knowledgeable user was giving me valued advice via PM on how to overcome the slowdown, but it wasn't helping.
Hopefully I've made it crystal clear that I am not bashing AM.

I understood what you meant Page. It didn't see like bashing at all. From what I read, you had issue and couldn't be solved so you removed the software, nothing wrong with in my eyes. Slowdown is definitely not something you when adding a new app to your security setup. I've shifted my setup many times because of the same reason.

Congratulations. Now you'll be running your life in restricted mode too (in a good way).

well I decided to give AVG 2012 Pro a spin and thus far it seems to run much heavier on my system than Avast Pro. I'm still needing to do an initial scan. Going from web page to web page across the internet really seems to labor my system much more than Avast. Well if AVG doesn't work out I'm headed to Nod32.

That sounds interesting...Mamutu with Panda Cloud. I may blow the dust off my Mamutu license and add that on too. Might as well get the mileage out of the 4 months I have left on it and it is light as a feather...
