You need to update to AVG 8.0 as 7 is outdated and has no support unless a person goes to homepage for AVG to get it. this could be why virus came back to get you. remove the version of AVG in add/remove and then download from this site, and its still FREE as always. AVG 8.0 Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware 1. http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download?prd=afe 2. Click where you see red arrow and download AVG free 8.0 3. This will take you to Cnet download web page, click the area that says download now, a box open that ask you to: Run or save or cancel file size is 45.5MB 4. Choose save either to desktop or my documents your choice 5. Once files is downloaded, right click and open file and run, the only thing you need to do is keep clicking next (except take note there is one box that ask you is you want a AVG toolbar uncheck this box many people report problems with foxfire and slow down issue etc) and computer will reboot and end. Toolbar has to be a personally choice! 6. If you already have AVG 7.5 it will uninstall by itself and AVG 8.0 takes over, also if you have AVG anti-spy ware you can un install this program as 8.0 is both now. 7. The new AVG allows you to schedule times for scans where old did not. On main page of AVG on the left hand side click computer scanner and a page comes up where you may set date & time, edit as often as you like. 8. Under tools at the top, look under history, you will find the virus vault basis same as old program. You can delete one by one or just empty vault, or rescan from here etc. Also under tools you can start a scan on your own, scan a file if you wish, or folder, do an update if you just wish to check and see if they are all done. 9. One of the biggest difference’s is when you are surfing the net you will see little green star by web site as AVG checks them for you to see if safe before entering, if there’s a question mark program is unsure. 10. And offers a help section at top also for those who need little more knowledge. 11. At one point you will be asked to registry your copy of AVG, just follow the instructions and it takes you to their web page, you must give your e-mail address and put a check in at least one box, click ok then its done. AVG 8.0 HOW TO MANAGE At the top in the tan line you will see the words file, components. History, tools, helps. File: is simply to exit the program Components: this will open different areas of system overview such as, all the items you see on main page, and some you can adjust in this area like when update manager runs. (If you make any changes, be sure and hit save changes) History: scan results, this will show you when each time a scan has run and what was found. Resident shield detection scans files as they are copied, opened and saved and if a threat is found, it will forbid its activation. E-mail scanner detection, checks incoming and outgoing mail by using plug-ins for the most frequently used e-mail programs, when detected, viruses are moved to the vault. Virus Vault - from here you can manage any virus that have been placed here, either Delete, restore, and send to analysis, empty vault etc, and view history. Event History log- which shows all that has happen on AVG (JUST BE SURE TO CHECK EVER SO OFTEN AND EMPTY AS SOME TROJANS NEED TO BE DELETED BY HAND) Tools: here you can go ahead a scan PC if you wish just to check for your self all is well, even though it does it automatically. OR you can choose to scan a selected folder if you wish Scan a file Update; check to see that all updates have been done from here Update directory…this would be if you must choose where to send it to look for update such as a certain network etc Advanced setting: Be careful if you choose to change any of these, most are factory default but some can be change with no problem, read carefully. Help takes you to AVG’s web site to look up certain virus and what they are and how to remove them and what they are.
