It would also now apply to the Free version i.e.... The AVGCHSVX service is running in the background for the first few hours (depending on how many files you have on your system) to fill the cache. It is running with low priority so it should not slow down your other apps. And after the cache is fully populated, the process will automatically minimize its CPU usage.

Again: it is a fresh copy of windows, just installed, immediately after the installation of SP3 I added AVG 9 then others soft.
