Great review.

Even I felt the same when I used AVG.

The removal process is pretty slow ( still ahead of MSE :p). Also sometimes it caches but not able to remove.
Link Scanner is not that much good.
There is no option for Quick/Full Scan. But the whole system scan is fastest ( except for the 1st scan).
Quick response. After inserting infected USB it started detected instantly.
Ui is pretty neat.
On my system AVG felt very light, but I haven't checked the RAM usage. I have plenty of it :p
Did not like the advertisement for paid product. Though if you remove the banner folder it won't come anymore :D
Not much effect on boot time.
Not much effect on Outlook.
