POTENTIALLY UNWANTED PROGRAM DETECTED

[dik9]

I have had a problem with AVG recently, I keep getting a warning saying my AVG needs updating but when I tried to update it said no updates can be found. My PC was playing up so I am trying the 30 day free trial at the moment but this runs out next week. I tried deleting and reinstalling but still it wont update, I havent installed anything new so im a bit baffled by this..any advice?

Uninstall all AVG, and reinstall again, never had this problem TBH. I do the priority updates manually and all of a sudden my yellow black green and red box lights up admittedly when it is scanning it is REALLY SLOW, so I changed the autotime scan to manual and do it when I know I will busy doing something else.

Is NOD32 the best one?

IMO it is.. Not had a single problem with it, where as Norton, Panda etc etc have been no good for me.. we even use NOD on work server/system and works fine.

Checking and protecting your hosts file is a good idea.  I have to edit mine frequently (when switching between development sites and then the live sites), so I am automatically checking mine every day or so.

i agree try re installing avg, i can get mcafee anti virus free with aol but prefer avg,i have the free new version of avg  on my laptop i downloaded last year it updates every morning by itself when i switch on computer, no problems at all. i do use the mcafee firewall and  avg adware but still have problems with computer freezing and running slow.
