Try uninstalling AVG first and see whether the situation improves.

i got the same problem with my vista laptop. processor at 50-90% on idle.

i manage to do a work around by disabling my network before i shutdown

apparently, there is something on my laptop that eats processor power when it detect a network on start up so i disable network connections on start up and wait a few minutes after start up then manually enable my network.

it could be the vista file indexing thing eating your processor power.

look for a guide to disable vista's file indexing function

I had a laptop which I used intensively for software developement for eight years, it was still working very nicely even during the period when I decided to sell it.

I think you should check your hard disk condition. Perhaps you have been moving the laptop around even when it is powered on and hence increased its wear and tear.

Every tried defragmenting your laptop too?

I got same problem but I don't know if it is the same as yours.

I would not use the word sluggish. Basically, I got all your problems plus something extra. My cursor run amok.

Tried everything. Finally, I discovered that the software Adware itself is the source of the problem.

I think the version I dl is a modified one. I dl from a forum site, so ppl may have changed some of its algorithms. So be careful of the source of software dl.

skeujin SG

so what did u do to cure yr problem?
