If the false positives are not bad enough, I also found that AVG slows down my computer by about 40%. On bootup it now takes my laptop an extra 90 seconds because of the AVG firewall. This firewall also slows down both my IE and Firefox browsers. Once I disabled the AVG and went back to using the Windows firewall I noticed a tremendous improvement in the speed and performance of both browsers. I can safely say that once my subscription runs out. I wil be dumping this and putting in either Kaspersky AV 2010 or Norton 2010.
