Turn off avgrsx exe

I can end all other AVG processes, but that one refuses to stop or not load on restart regardless of the fact that the UI lists the resident shield as disabled. I looked around and this was apparently a big issue with the release of AVG 8 last year, but there were no solutions in any of the posts on various sites that I could find.

I am hoping that 8 months later someone knows of a way to to shut this mothertrucker off??? Please help me before I lose control and take a 2x4 to the whole thing Thanks for the advice. They used to be the AV recommendation from Techspot. They were on top of the world! How did they go so wrong? Thanks kimsland. Any reason why you prefer Avira to Avast the 8 steps page suggests either one , or are they pretty much equally good?

Also, I have been using ZA since it was recommended to me here a while back, but I have heard a lot of complaints about it interfering with other security software. Do you recommend switching to another brand of firewall at the same time?

Sorry for all the questions but I prefer to do it right once than wrong 3 different ways if at all possible Edit: OK, while I am asking questions, I might as well ask what the best antispyware programs du jour are too?

I've been running AVG Free for a couple years and have been pleased with the level of protection and functionality.

Now this problem pops up with avgrsx resource utilization. Average user or not, there is a problem here that is not normal. I have two systems at home that both run AVG 8. One is experiencing the issue and one is not, and the one that is only recently started. Unfortunately I can not pin-point the exact date and relate it to any specific event in my logs.

If anyone hears of a fix, please post it, as disabling virus protection is not an option. Don't know if this will work for you but here is what solved it for me: turn off "Scan for Tracking Cookies" in the Resident Shield Settings. Steps: 1. Select the "Tools" drop down and then select "Advanced Settings Uncheck "Scan for Tracking Cookies". Select "OK" or "Apply". I checked my other computer the one without the problem and indeed this item was already unchecked.

Just for giggles, I checked it on the other computer and the CPU usage immediately shot up. This post will probably start a discussion about other ways to defeat tracking cookies which may or may not be useful to the average Joe.

I also run CCleaner, update my hosts file through SpyBot, and add manual entries to hosts when I'm feeling frisky. Hope this helps someone. Surfs up! Kevin Killion. Joined Feb 26, Messages 1. I checked, and on my system "Scan for Tracking Cookies" is NOT checked, and yet I'm still seeing huge use by avgrsx at startup, sucking the lifeblood out of anything else.

The problem is that I often go to clients to present training classes, and when I setup at the training site, this causes a big, embarrassing delay while my laptop whirls away until we're ready to go.
