One of my reasons for getting rid of AVG is how much extra stuff they've added in later releases. In fairness, I think providing a one-stop-shop for all security issues makes good sense on their part, and it's not just a profits thing. Afterall I used to have 2 or 3 different bits of software on my PC that I'd need to run to do the virus checking, spyware etc.
Yet, most of it I don't really care about; and if I run registry cleaner/spyware remover every so often that's more than good enough to keep my PC running. It used to be "my parents" who accumulated 5 years of stuff without ever doing any maintenance that suffered performance issues.
