The previous AV on both machines was Avast 4.5x. I ran the auto update tool last week and Avast 4.6x installed itself as a program update. Surprise! Had all previous AV programs (Panda, AntiVir) deleted a long time ago. I had been using Avast 4.5x for some time already. I think I’ll keep the ‘new’ components of Avast switched off and maybe unsinstall it altogether from the slow/old PC. I’ve considered the possiblity that the slowdown is caused by some spyware, but I run Yahoo AntiSpyware, Spybot S&D and Lavasoft Adaware Personal from time to time and never find any malware.
