Uninstall one of the antivirus solutions and Trusteer.0

If you are saying that you have both Avira and Avast installed, uninstall one of them. You should only have one antivirus program running.
You will find that Trusteer Rapport seems to have a high resource requirement - especially on a netbook - and people have been known to be quite rude about it. If it works for you, keep it. Certainly banks seem to be pushing it a lot at the moment, but personally I will be giving it a miss.0 -
Thank you both, i have uninstalled both the avast and the trusteer.
so will i be ok with avira?
thanks x0 -
There are no guarantees.

Might be an idea to run the Avast removal tool, as Avast isn't very good at uninstalling itself:

Rapport is pretty heavy for a netbook IMO.0 -
