I think that there is no incompatibility with AVG 8.
Have you maybe enabled checkbox "SDHelper (Bad Download Blocker) active.") in Spybot-S&D setup?

I don't know if I did or not. Would that have made such a difference in the speed of loading web pages?
Could this be something related to the TeaTimer?

i couldnt use avg because of the linkscanner or what it is called, it slowed down surfing to much, especially on google. but it is just to turn linkscanner off if you want. it is better things out there that does some of the same that linkscanner does. the "Bad Download Blocker" uses some resources i think, because as of i know it runs all the time when "internet explorer" does.

Currently, there are no problems with Spybot-Search&Destroy coexisting with AVG 8.0. However, in the past there were false positives detected by AVG 8.0 in the immunization of Spybot and SpywareBlaster. I'm not sure if this is resolved, as I do not use AVG anymore.
As for SDHelper, it is merely more like a add-on, a second layer of protection in Spyboy-SD. Here are some relevant links:

How Spybot-SD protections against the installation of Spyware/Malware
I wouldn't call it "passive" protection like the Immunize feature, as SDHelper actively protects the user in a IE session.

Nyssa23, I came to a conclusion that there may be inadequate/insufficient RAM (memory) in your computer. The recommended amount of memory for the Windows XP Operating System is 512MB, however your OS has half that amount. What I can suggest is that you upgrade the amount of memory or you can switch to another anti-virus program to lower the chances of slowdowns and "insufficient" memory problems. AVG 8.0's memory usage is intensive (50MB for avgrsx.exe on average 1-2 hour use) plus another 3 or 4 of AVG's processes.
As I said before you can upgrade the amount of RAM on the computer or you can switch to another anti-virus program.

I personally use avast! because of it's minimal memory usage (small 'footprints'), however scanning will use more memory.
