I also have been using AVG along with ZoneAlarm on Windows XP. Updated to AVG 9.0 and found it slowed Mozilla down to a crawl. Looking at AVG forums, I found that AVG 9.0 does not work well with ZoneAlarm.
Secondly, my second laptop is a 1.4 MHz machine, and the minimum spec for AVG 9.0 is 1.8 MHz, so that machine just sat continually reading the hard drive and was very slow at everything.
Now I am trying COMODO anti-virus and firewall, seems better at the moment.
Would appreciate any comments?
Uninstalling ZoneAlarm and AVG seemed to go uneventfully using Add/Remove programs. I switched off internet connection, then uninstalled both, then installed Comodo before switching connection back on. First update of virus database has to be done manually,
