yes the AVG8 beta sp1 update was just recently released to help fix some of the problems with AVG8. They are suggesting the update. Also following these directions from their faq is helping.

Thanks for the encouragement that I may have made the right decision to install SP3, on two computers, and thinking about the third. Anyway, when starting the AVG 8 update I got a halt telling me "Roxio Easy CD and DVD Creator" has a bug that requires it be updated before installing AVG 8. I don't even know why I have the program, and believe I use Microsoft something for creating CDs and DVDs...or could it be that is what Roxio is? I'm thinking uninstall Roxio, then install AVG 8. In any case I put the update of AVG on hold.

Dennis, thanks for a well laid out list of problems. It does help those who feel they can see some or all of your problems. AVG is by far the most popular free anti virus and I doubt that is your issue. I would not remove that one. Spyware Doctor I know nothing about. If you have the original CD or the download stored on your computer you could remove it entirely using the Add/Remove and see if that helps at all. Superantispyware and or Malwarebytes could be alternatives to trying Spybot Search & Destroy. If you use Spybot S&D be sure it is in fact that program and not a sound alike rogue program. Have you ran any cleaners at all? Not registry cleaners but the Disk cleanup in the Accessories/System Tools folder of XP. Try that and a defrag, it will help modestly. Do you have Google or Yahoo toolbars and are they allowed to run in the background? The Google Toolbar has either 3 or 4 entries in your Startup and using your resources. Click Start click Run type msconfig click OK click the Startup tab Now check each of these items and decide if they do in fact need to run. Google each entry before deciding to stop one because if you stop the wrong ones the computer may not start again. If you stop any you need to reboot. During the reboot you will get a dire warning, do not be alarmed, place a check mark not to see it again and continue the booting.
