AVG Service High CPU usage

Hi. Since the update 2-3 days ago the AVG Service is showing very high CPU usage. Never had this issue before. The laptop is running very slow. Normal Youtube videos are taking 2-3mins to load/buffer.  AVG Internet Security version is 22.1.3219 (Build 22.1.6921.709). I have Windows 7. There is a lot of hard disk space available. I don't play games or download big files. Normal websites are not loading properly. I have checked the control panel and AVG is not installed twice. Please help. Thank you.

Hi Madhur,

We're glad to look into this & help you.
Please share us the screenshot of task manager that shows the CPU consumption of AVG & clarify whether there are any other antivirus installed on your computer. 
Also, let us know whether you use the free or paid version of AVG. Reason being, we're unable to locate any active subscription under your account.
