When was it ever renowned for this? If the program allowed, I could run 2 MapleStory's at once (running performance tests and such said my PC's RAM would be able to run 2 of them) with no problems (though it only lets you do 1 (the game), mind you, MS is a pretty resource-demanding free-to-play MMO).

With AVG? One is very laggy. It also has far too many false positives and never does anything to what it does find.

The reason AVG has gone to hell since version 8.x or so, is because they got a different team, mostly, but their best people left AVG a few updates before V 8, and went to other places like avast, and some other companies, and the guy who responded about the group named BYOND, you are right, however this problem has acctually existed for awhile, if its just starting to pop up, its an outdated problem that they are seemingly ignorant to. AVG is losing a lot of money, and employees, so you cant blame them for becoming shotty, especially for having a free anti virus. Avast is a good system, norton yeah, no. AVG is just going down that hill that all companies eventually hit, whether or not they rebound is up to how nuch money they make.

Agreed, to the first sentance xD.
