Steven V AVG Using 50 % CPU
Hi,
My AVG is currently taking up between 50 and 60% of my CPU usage, even when just idle.
when gaming or working it causes a slow down of my machine and I would like to know of there is a way to reduce this load or remove some of the components that are causing it.
My computer specs are
Windows 10 Home edition 64bit
Processor Intel Core i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz
8Gb RAM
64 bit processor.
I am using AVG Zen and have no conflicting anti-virus software on the computer.
