re: Many machines slowing down lately, why? Sunday, July 27, 2008 at 4:52 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rich (326 messages posted) I find Avast as good as AVG, a small footprint, fast updates, (I keep mine set to manual), and you can adjust the resident protection to normal or high. I find 'normal' quite sufficient. I switched since AVG went to a newer version that I find bloated and slow. Avast will scan my system in approx. 5 minutes..!
