About AVG?
AVG 9.0 is a software program developed by AVG Technologies. Upon installation, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when the user boots the PC. It also adds a Windows Service which runs continuously in the background. Manual stopping of the service may cause the program to stop functioning properly. The software also includes a background controller service that is set to automatically run, with the option to delay its start using the service manager. Additionally, it adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer and is designed to connect to the Internet, adding a Windows Firewall exception to do so without interference. Furthermore, it adds a context menu handler to the Windows shell to provide quick access to the program. The main executable of the program is avgam.exe, which consumes an average CPU of less than one percent and utilizes about 5.01 MB of memory. The setup package typically installs about 106 files and is around 95.35 MB in size. The majority of users who have this program installed are running Windows 7 (SP1).
