I have installed , and update regularly and I have AVG run a scan every day at 4:00AM .
I am installing and running Kaspersky now.

[Shaba]

No need to install Kaspersky Antivirus if you are doing it

Just running online scan is good here.

[flywelder]

now, I have AVG running in background, I do not know how to turn AVG off temporarily ? or should I just let AVG run while kaspersky scans?


Sorry if I miss lead you, I must have used wrong wording in my last posting, I am following your instructions and
( I hope) ......just having it scan my computer...it did take a while and loaded files to my hard drive......

This should help

Hi, ..if I understood correctly, then Tashi has asked me to post this question here.... however I am getting slightly confused and feel I am in the fog and it is thickening around me......the bottom of each of you's postings says to not post questions here but to do so in the forums.....forgive me and any confusion I may cause while I am here....I want to follow the rules but I am not understanding them as well as I once thought i did.

My question is:
I am downloading these dds.scr....... when it is finished downloading i can not find it without doing a search...can I create a folder with a desktop icon to have downloads go to so I can easily find them?
I am using Windows XP 2002 home edition


Shaba ..just so you know, it has been two hrs. and i think....the scan is still running, but I am not 100% certain, will I know for certain when it is finished?

Thank you

Trend High Jack found 20 problems!!!!

So why when, I have had AVG installed for a year and I update regularly each week and I have AVG run a scan every day at 4:00AM ......
AVG never finds any problems ?????? Might I have it set up wrong?
Is AVG not as good as bragged to be?...what protection does work?....and is free? or does not cost an arm and a leg every year?

[flywelder]

How will I know or how can I determine if I have what is called
"script blocking tools"
What are script blocking tools?
Is it good to have these?
if not,......then:
How did I get them?
how do I get rid of them?
how do i keep from getting them?

[flywelder]

Just want to say Shaba, that your postings do help, I am learning a great deal, and i very pleased!
I am in the fog about where to post my questions and where I am not, please forgive me.
Reguards,
