AVGRSX.exe is the resident shield component of AVG 8

I got an question from my blog reader,vrushank. His question is "Any links or posts on how to tweak these issues out especially with the extreme memory consumption of avgrsx.exe??"

Seriously dude, AVG 7.5 was way much better than 8.0. In fact, when I bought my new PC in 2005, I chose AVG since it was the only antivirus with the least memory usage. Looking at AVG 8.0 now, it seems its trying to compete with NORTON in memory hogging. Any links or posts on how to tweak these issues out especially with the extreme memory consumption of avgrsx.exe??

Honestly i also didn't have an idea for his question because i never used AVG as my anti virus. Both of my computer and note book using symantic endpoint protection. In order to reply to vrushank, i had google about avgrsx.exe. I find out there are a few solution to speed up your avg and here is one of the best solution i guess.



AVGRSX.exe is the resident shield component of AVG 8.

This is the portion of the program that scans files as they are opened, copied or moved/saved. If it detects a threat, an alert pops up asking what to do with the file (unless you set it to automatically move the file to the virus vault).

You have 2 options to speed things up here:

1) Disable the resident shield. This is NOT RECOMMENDED as it basically switches off real-time monitoring of files. I strongly suggest you do not disable resident shield!

or

2) You can manage exceptions by click the "manage exceptions" button then choosing to add a path or a list of folders. Doing this you can set up certain folders that will not be monitored thus speeding up the opening of the folders considerably if they are full of files but remember, should a virus somehow manage to get into any of the files contained in this folder AVG will not report it so you need to be pretty sure that no viruses will invade the folders you set up as exceptions.

If you have a specific folder where all downloads from the internet, peer-to-peer programs etc go, then obviously this should NOT be set up as an exception!
