2011 version of AVG detection rates were just not that good, have disinfected a few computers with this as the IS.. I would like to see if they really have improved..

it's for AVG free, how about AVG IS? it's more again. with firewall and other probably. maybe up to 75MB? :D
LOL
 
On the screenshots the total of RAM usage was estimated to 60+ MB which not bat at all but its quite heavy.
 
lol ! CIS = full suite , 2 processes, 15mb working set on idle...

AVG? NO THANKS !
 
yep.
still heavy for users having less ram.
and have many processes at least theri must cut processes to just 2 or 3 processes.
the screenshot it's for AVG free version.
 
If you custom the installation and unchecked some components then the processes will appear is fewer.
