As a reseller of AVG we get a lot of people asking us how to stop AVG from slowing the PC down when they first boot up. AVG actually performs a full system scan on boot up and for some slower PC's this can cause a drain on resources and slow the PC down.

• You should have an icon of a black, red, white and green flag like the one below. Double click it. If not then load it through the start menu. “Start > Programs > AVG Antivirus > Control Center”.

• Click on Test Centre on the left. You should now have the AVG test center in-front of you.
• Click on tests near the top of the window, you should see at the bottom of the list “Schedule Daily Test”.

• You will now get another window popup, this will allow you to configure the daily scan settings.

• Un-tick the “If missed, start immediately when user logs on”.

• This will now only ever perform a test if your PC is switched on before the time shown, in this case 8am. If you also wanted to disable this you will need to un-tick “Periodically start scheduled antivirus test”.
• Click OK, close AVG Test Centre and AVG Control Centre.
