(Hello all! I know I haven't posted art for a long time, I'm sorry about that. I've been back to work since last August and my focus shifted away from drawing to working more on my Minecraft projects and other things. But I thought in the meantime I can still at-least post journals!)

I Wanted to share a tip for anyone who uses AVG antivirus because my laptop was giving me such a headache this last week.

Last week, my laptop suddenly developed the problem of both firefox and google chrome becoming extremely difficult to use. Web pages would either take forever to load, or just not load at all, leaving me at a blank window. Any time I tried to watch something on youtube, the videos would stop and need to buffer constantly. When playing Minecraft or Killing Floor 2, I would occasionally experience input lag with my movement, causing my character to continue moving in a grid-like way in a certain direction for short bursts. Typing in word-pad would also result in an extreme delay of the characters appearing on-screen, and windows explorer seemed to crash more than usual as well.

After experimenting and troubleshooting for almost a week, I took the advice of looking into my task manager and noticed I had multiple instances of AVG running and one of them was using up more memory than even Firefox. I went to “apps & services” (I use Windows 10, by the way), and told it to uninstall AVG, which then gave me the option repair the program. I did so, and then restarted my laptop, and now my browsers are back to being fast and stable! So I share my experience just in case this happens to any of y'all in the future. <3
