White screen of anger

AVG is crap, and I take it upon myself to let people know this. I have had countless clients with terrible viruses that AVG doesn't pick up regardless of how many scans it does. Given this, AVG is like a virus itself: it uses resources and messes up your computer's functionality to a point.

Uninstall. Try Kaspersky for a month and uninstall that when the trial's over. Rinse and repeat.

And no it doesn't get in the way of your productivity/entertainment.
