avg online shield service is sometimes up to 90% busy of the CPU usage
I've been running AVG as my antivirus for about 6 years.of curse I used different version of it until now. But it has a problem with one of its services which is Online Shield service. it using sometimes 100% of the CPU usage for a long time, and make computer so slower as you can think about it. I think that the main problem is the AVG Watchdog service and the AVG resident Shield Service. they are using to much cpu at times.

How to prevent AVG CPU Usage for a long time
at first you can use AVG Diagnostics tool to find a problem.
To provide the results of the AVG Diagnostics tool:
1. Download this tool to your Desktop: http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/support/runner_en.exe
2. Double-click the saved file, the tool will start automatically.
3. Type your e-mail address and a detailed issue description into the appropriate areas.
4. Click "Diagnose and send results.”
second I like to say my experience at this point:
The best way to overcome this situation, which I've been until now , is to run disk clean up and remove temporary files and than restart your computer. this solution usually work better then others mentioned as follow:
1. Resident Shield (click the Anti-Virus component in AVG and clear the "Enable Resident Shield" checkbox -> Save changes).
2. Online Shield (click the LinkScanner component and clear the "Enable Online Shield" checkbox -> Save changes).
3. LinkScanner Surf-Shield (click the LinkScanner component and clear the "Enable Surf-Shield" checkbox -> Save changes).
4. Firewall (click the Firewall component and click "Firewall is disabled" -> Save changes).
5. Identity Protection (click the Identity Protection component and clear the "Activate Identity Protection" check box -> Save changes).
6. Cache Server (click the Tools -> Advanced settings -> Anti-Virus -> Cache Server and clear the "Caching enabled" checkbox -> OK).
