Avoid AVG at all costs! It renders your system unresponsive.

[LP006688]

Attention! AVG effectively kills your computer:

Here you may see it has already created 344 copies of itself in memory. And this process is infinite until the system renders totally unresponsive.

How may systems have you seen this on?

I think there is something else going on with how you have this set up, I had an issue with Avast + Windows 10 (caused by the Windows 10 upgrade) on a work computer, so I used my home computer to test out how AVG was working and never switched it back to avast (because I'm being lazy about it)... I have had AVG on my main computer for 7ish months and I don't have that issue

This happens with their free AVG version. An update process spawns itself again and again and, finally, freezes the computer.

I have the free version on one of my computers, and I don't have this issue. I'm wondering if there is something else going on

see thisit is like a promotionnel stuff from them so you could remove it https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=ssl#q=avg+secure+search+update+0516avz.exe

That's why I say "avoid at all costs". It is written "free". That does mean that no one should pay their time, nerves, and computer resources for their crap promotions.

I have not seen that problem yet including my own & customers' computers.
