Tend to agree with you. Saying that was running both PC guard & McAfee 08 - yes I know & my new PC still flew. Until PC guard went belly up today.
New PC came with Vista & that does not like AVG at all,hence Mcaffee.
Would go back like a shot to my old set ( which was as you list here). But life was to short to keep AVG & fix the download problems it kept on having / not to mention the number of times it hung.Still while I was doing this I learnt a few things!!!
