    The slow down on your computer is a catch.

    Yeah, major problem it that it's still pretty carp in full version, better stick to avast or avira free editions :)

    Ohhhhh....ahhhh, it's apparently even more bulky after they decided to add something called Identity Protection, here's what PCPro say about it..

    The new module also leaves the suite feeling distinctly bulky. This month we've upgraded our test machine to a Core i7-920 with 3GB of DDR3 RAM, but with AVG Internet Security 8.5 installed it still took 31 seconds to boot to the desktop, plus a further 21 seconds of CPU churning over the next two minutes, settling down to a total RAM footprint of 718MB.

    The firewall is VERY poor too. Youd be best sticking to windows inbuilt one
