I've got AVG on several of my computers and yes, I do think it may be
getting 'sloppier'. When I first started using AVG it would run crisply
and finish scans in a reasonable amount of time. Now, on the same
computer (and, granted, I may have installed more programs on it) it
appears to run rather sluggishly. 5 out of 10 times when I reboot or
start the computer AVG will fail to connect to it's update server and
blame ME for the failure ("Your Internet connection is down" or "You
computer is not connect to the Internet" - that sort of garbage).
I've tried Avast on one of my computers, but since I did it only two
days ago I'm not really ready for an opinion. I do think it updates far
easier than AVG.
