i recently posted about internet browsers for my netbook and downloaded Google Chrome for my netbook upon reading the recommendations. For a while it loaded up fast until i downloaded AVG Internet Security Suite 2011 which came with my netbook when i bought it from QVC. Now it loads slow. Can anyone advise me why that is? Also my netbook doesn’t work quite fast as it is (even when shutting down). Any tips for how to make it just a tiny bit faster? I have an Acer Aspire One D255E which has 1GB RAM, 250 GB HDD with Windows 7 Starter, Intel Atom processor N550 if this information helps…..
Cant say for sure as a) I dont have an Aspire One, and b) I haven’t used AVG ISS 2011 on my netbook, but:
If your machine can take more ram, fit it. The 2G update on my N220 definately helped make things ‘snappier’ when closing/opening loads of tabs in browsers or various different windows. I couldn’t say that its helped with start up or close down speed though. Basically, if you have the spare cash and the netbook can take more, fit extra memory.
As I say, I’ve not used AVG ISS 2011, but I have read a few reviews and some say its a bit of a resource hog. It maybe that with a low-ish spec CPU like the Atom (fitted in quite a few netbooks) its a little too much for it. On my netbook I’m using all free software MSE2 for the AV, backed up with occasional scans from Malwarebytes, and I added this for O/G firewall protection, all free. Thats not to say AVG is bad, but from some reviews maybe its a little ‘heavy’ for a netbook.
PS – If you decide to try and remove AVG then look on their site first to see if there is a specific removal tool for the version you have.
EDIT – A later thought, if you use task manager or the CPU/Mem gadget, whats the typical CPU and memory usage when idle and when doing something like open chrome. Or use task manager specifically and list by CPU and then mem usage, is anything obviously hogging resources?
