Basic idea during software installation is to always use custom install,
and review the options carefully. It is my experience that in 90% of the
cases, I end up unchecking the options checked by default and vice
versa. That said, I suspect the culprit is a new option in AVG that you
must remove. This monstrosity is called "Link Scanner". You must uncheck
this and all sub options under it during install. If you already have it
installed - a google search should point you to the right direction on
how to remove it. You would reduce your own bandwidth usage and do the
internet in general a favor. See: http://www.avg-watch.org/
Other than that I think it's still okay (must say I like free)

Hey Jack,
My internet computer isn't very fast and doesn't have much RAM so you
may not be seeing the problems I was. But there's no question that AVG
has gone from leanware to bloatware between versions 7.0 and 8.5.
That's confirmed by independent testing in the reviews. I'm tickled
pink with the performance improvement that VIPRE is giving me over AVG
but others may not see as much improvement.
