I mean before I log in to Windows. It hangs. Do you know any free anti virus which doesn't slow PCs down?

Well, it happened before I defragmented and I thought that was the problem, so I defragmented it yesterday. But today it happened again. So I think there's no other problem but that.

I never had any luck with AVG and now I know I'm not the only one.
When it comes to free antivirus, there is Comodo, Avast, AntiVir and probably a lot more but those are the ones I've tried out.
Try taking a look at http://www.majorgeeks.com and check out some of the antivirus programs there.

I have used AVG free for years, I have hundreds of clients using either the free or pay versions, nobody has any trouble with it. Are you sure it's avg causing the problem. I find the biggest delays on startup are from supposed PC performance enhancing programmes.

I have been using AVG for many years and never had a problem. If you are seeing a hang-up at start up, it could be spyware or adware on your system that will slow down any program. Get a decent malware detector and clean your system.

I do not think AVG is the problem. I think it is a lot of other problems with your computer.When did you defrag last. Do you have any optomizer software?
