AVG 8 is bloated, slow, seems to generate false positives for quite old virus types, and behaves in ways which threaten the integrity of my data. The scanning process is also far more resource hungry--it doesn't seem to play nice in the way AVG 7.5 does.

I can't work easily while the scan continues in the background, yet I can't trust the scanner to work while I'm not watching for blink-and-miss virus reports.

Luckily I have backups.
