In all my testing, I have never encountered any thing like a share 
violation.  However, to reconfirm AVG greatly extends the time required 
to recursively traverse a directory tree, look at the following results 
of my test.  I create then delete a chain of 150 sub-directories 
recursively.  The times given are for 10 consecutive operations.  The 
first set is with AVG enabled, the second with it disabled.  As you can 
see, the enabled times are nonlinear, while the disabled ones are, for 
the most part, linear (153 seconds vs 22 seconds!).  I only show 150 
levels because any thing much larger is unbearable.
