nope AVG temp fix did not work for me

AVG is the worst app on the net and I'm not kidding.

Completely uninstall it and test. Disabling will have no effect.

what do you recomend as a replacement?

uninstalled AVG and everything works great........now to find a substitute virus scan...

I did a little test.
I upgraded to AVG 9 on an older laptop, running Vista.
voila, same problem every 30 min.
Disabling it didn't help, after uninstalling AVG, it was fine agin.

Of course. It's AVG!

genious. it makes sense considering that i upgraded to avg 9.0 and windows 7 at the same time. since i was looking at windows 7 problems and not avg this must be it. it all of a sudden started working a few days ago but yes that must be a solution:PP

I would try MSE: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
Free and provides good basic protection.

ive just installed win 7 on vista
ive got the same problem
vista worked fine with avg 9 but after the upgrade to 7 this problem started.
I ve tried everything offered in this forum - unistalled the program then downloaded the unistaller to move avg completely earased all avg files.
the problem remains.

hi all, i dont know if it will help but im running windows vista home 64 bit with avg pro. my comp came with both and i have had it for 13 months now. i have the same problem with windows minimizing by themselves, but it only started in the last 3 months. it did not do it in the first 10 months, and somtimes after i reboot it wont start doing it right away, but it always starts again. maybe it is caused by a recent avg update?
