I just got a new laptop, and after just a few days of using it, I keep getting this message:

high memory usage by Windows Internet Explorer. Memory used 445mb. AVG recommends closing and reopening application for faster performance.
(AVG has been my security/anti-virus/firewall, etc. for a lot of years, and never gave me a problem).

My computer does not seem slow when starting Windows or IE.

Below the message was a link "suggest to change options" which lead to the System Tray Notification.

Most of the options under System Tray Notification were checked.

I don't understand the message or what any of this means.

I did notice one option that was checked that I'm wondering if it has anything to do with it - I don't use games.
"Enable game mode when a full screen application is executed."

I'm technically a bit slow, so forgive any less-than-intelligent questions.

Thanks for any info, help......whatever!
