Hello,

Basically you can tell if AVG is working by double clicking the AVG tray icon and checking if all components are in "green" state.

As for the slowdown, please provide us with more information:

Windows version (2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, etc...)
Hardware specifications (Amount of RAM and CPU speed)
AVG version and virus db version (found in the lower left hand corner of the AVG windows)
Other antivirus software installed / previously uninstalled (if any)
Other protection software installed

Is there any infection detected with AVG full computer scan?

It is also possible to slow down the computer when too many programs are constantly running in background. You can check what programs are being run at startup this way:

Start-> Run
Type "msconfig" and press enter
Choose startup tab and uncheck any unneeded programs
Reboot your computer

If you have AVG installed in your computer, you can find it in your list of programs. No need to call anyone. 

You should check with your PC company or internet company. Maybe call your system advisor. Advice from a 12 year old with logics

You should not be announcing your age on the internet. This makes you a 12 year old with no common sense. I wonder how many pedophiles you've become internet friends with, without knowing they are pedophiles. I suggest you use the con tact link at the bottom of the page and ask for a name change.
