Quote from a good contact :
AVG Anti-Virus is crap!

Mostly noobs, the naive, the computer illiterate, and children use AVG Free. People of their ilk love AVG because they say it is easy to use and almost never bothers them with any pop-ups or warnings. Of course AVG Free never bothers them, it hardly ever finds any virus to warn them about!

AVG has proven itself to be a miserable performer at best. Missing almost 20%, while trying to detect known malware, in some tests. Not to mention almost non-existent heuristic detection and infrequent "once-a day" updates.

AVG. = Average, at best!

There are much better free anti-virus alternatives such as Avria Anti-Vir:

and Avast:

Answer 3

I took this off from AVG website..
Most of today's viruses (Trojan horses, I-Worms, Worms, etc) create their own files which contain nothing but a body of the virus. In such cases the only way to remove the infection is to delete the infected file. When you moved the file to the AVG Virus Vault it was deleted from its original location, coded, and then saved in a non-executable file in a hidden folder. Your PC is no longer infected then.
If you are not missing any data file and your applications are running, then you can delete these vaulted files from the AVG Virus Vault program.

You can do it selectively from AVG Virus Vault program -> select files -> delete. Or you can delete all AVG Virus Vault contents in one go: - Open the AVG Control Center program -> right click on "AVG Virus Vault" tab -> choose "Empty vault".


Note that files removed from your e-mails are also moved to the AVG Virus Vault. If you do not have a content filter set, then these files are infected and can be removed, as shown above. If you have set a content filter, then you should decide what to do with the vaulted files.
If you want, you can set automatic actions in the AVG Virus Vault. Please open the AVG Virus Vault program -> "Service" menu -> "Program setting". Here you can set any required automatic actions.

AVG is physically powerful for the persons who do no longer provide a sh*t approximately their computing gadget's overall performance. i take advantage of the suited on the industry, that's KASPERSKY =] They do have a unfastened version, by way of fact the guy on the precise is prevalent with approximately. look above this. Basicly... definite. yet there are greater constructive unfastened products.

Answer 5

AVG is not a good anti virus program to use. I have tested many of them and have found Avast Anti Virus to be the best. I have been running it for 3 years now with Firefox web browser and i have not gotten 1 pop up/virus/spy ware. It's free and works great.
