| Jim, you can stop it from running by disabling AVG Watchdog in "services". Go to Task Manager and end all the processes associated with AVG, avgwdsvc.exe, avgtray.exe, avgmc.exe and finally avgrsx.exe; the most difficut to stop. You may have to end several other services as it is difficult to end even with stopping all the other processes associated with it. Additionally, you may have to try ending the process repeatedly. I have found that shutting down ALERTSrc.exe and Task Manager, itself for a few moments, refresh your desktop and return to TM. It should have stopped; BUT, if not a few times resorting the Image Name column may do it, or you may have to end TM once again and that should stop it. Technically you are rendering AVG useless as it is now completely shut down. While this is helpful for temporarily disabling AVG for installation of other software, it won't uninstall it. You can only do that by uninstalling AVG altogether. The only other option, is to see if you can find an older version whose lifecycle has not ended, but I think with every version they put out, they discontinue further updates once they are sure there are no serious bugs in the new version. If it is using too many of your system resources, I would suggest you find another AV program that isn't a resource hog. | |||
