Is XP SP3 or AVG8 Slowing down my PC?

Title says it all.

Installed last night in my new machine (laptop) XP SP3 and then AVG8. Thats it really, went to bed, etc...

This morning when i came to do some work all was fine. But then I go to check my emails, and IE7 hangs for around 30 seconds doing nothing at all, then another good 10 seconds to show the webpage.

After its been put in the prefetch, still is real slow, about a 10 sec hang, and then at least another 10 seconds for the webpage to show.

Tried downloading a file, and my speeds are around half of what i have been getting.

I have 8MB Broadband, so MSN Home should not take 10 seconds to load.

Once open, pages are still taking 2/3 seconds to come up.

Maybe its the ISP, but my other machine seems to be OK.

I know AVG seems to interact with search engine results, so is this why?

Or is it SP3 causing the issues.

Or =) is it just me
