I been using Avg 9 Anti-virus, and notice it reads and writes to my drive a lot which got very annoying since my hard drive is kind of loud and hearing the thrashing sounds of my drive moving it’s head and reading and writing data ruins the mood of my music playing in the background while I am typing, or just watching a video. The hard drive is the loudest and most noticeable piece of hardware in my computer.
I notice that the AVG Cache Server program reads and write to my hard drive a lot. I read online that the AVG Cache Server is used to maintain the performance of AVG and make it scan faster.
But, AVG Cache Server with its default settings makes my hard drive in Windows 7 read and write so much which it is noticeable during using Windows for daily tasks like browsing the internet with a web browser or opening files. I like my computer quiet, so I can live with the decrease in AVG and system performance.
If you do a lot of video encoding and gaming the read and writes which AVG Cache Server may slow down your video encoding or gaming load times since your game is also competing for hard drive resources which are being used by AVG Cache Server.
