There are three parts to AVG.  The first is the Virus database which  is
used to store details of the viruses that are around and needs regularly
updating with details of any new viruses.  Its because this database is not
up to date that you keep getting the balloon popping up on your lap top.
You need to get into the habit of updating this database regularly, which
will stop the balloon appearing.  

The second part to AVG is the actual scan of your disk drives.  This
includes your main hard drive, floppy disk drive (if you have one) and
CD/DVD drives.  It scans through all the files on these devices, useing the
Virus database previously described, looking for the signatures of viruses
within each scanned file.  If a virus is found, AVG can either heal or
quarantine the file, so it can no longer harm your system.

The third part is the automatic scanning of incoming and outgoing Emails.
As you download Emails from your ISP's mail server, AVG will scan the Email
and any attachments it has, again using the Virus database, to check there
are no viruses on them.  Likewise, it does the same with Emails that you are
sending out.

To update your Virus database, do the following:

1. Ensure you have the internet connected.  This can be to any site, just so
long as the connection works.

2. On the Start Menu, go to 'Programs' or 'All Programs' , then 'AVG'.  You
should see a sub menu  containing 3 items, one of which is 'AVG free edition
for Windows' and you should open this application. 


3.  Press F9 and if it asks you where to get the update files from, select
'Internet'.  This may only occur the first time you do this, it may go
directly to step 4.

4.  A message will appear telling you that the latest update files are
available for download, click or press enter on the 'Update' button.  This
will update your Virus database with the latest virus information.  If there
is no new virus information available, you will see a message to this
effect.

5.  Once the 'Update successful', or the 'No files available'  message is
displayed, click or press enter on the OK button.  Note this window has a
coundown on it and will disappear automatically if you don't click the OK
button within 30 seconds or so.

6.  You should now be back at the main AVG window.  You can now either run a
System scan  or close  the application.  To run a full system scan press F4.
This may take awhile, depending on the amount of data on your disk drives.
When complete, AVG will tell you if it has found any viruses and what it has
done with them.  Press alt + F4 to exit AVG.      


Of course there is a lot more to AVG than this but what I have described is
the minimum  you should do to help keep your system virus free.  I do this
once a week and have managed to keep on top of any viruses around.

i  just had a look by the way into the folder and see  it was Freeserve in 
march last yarn when I  signed and   in April they beamed Wannadoo..  they 
talked about it with  much   excitement and glory.. At one time this Darren 
was supposed tobe able to give per personal  assistance but all that soon 
went to pot.     Anyway on the laptop  is AVG and that is on about updating 
all the time and to click on a baloon  I have-not managed to do that and 
ignore it it says I am at risk  etc.,     How do I do a full system  scan on

the laptop Ihaveno idea at all. AVG  says is updating on the 6th I think but

it  say it is updating  each time I  put it on.    I  did think by the way 
that when I was using the laptop I wouldnot   bother to   darken the  screen

and then maybe Jaws be   in the  state is in now which  you would to   see 
or hear to believe!.      However former the     screen  dark was something 
I  couldn't give up. I   donot  think I am skilled sough to make  some the 
setting in the   highlight and customising  and Toney Berry the RnIB 
visitor doesnot know Jaws. that's why I have I given him the Demo disc to 
take home and play  around with.. What I  did to make the  screen bearable 
was this. I   went into  Display and there  are about 8 choices of what 
seem tube preset  choices. Themes they are  called and of the   8  about two

three will work in   white Font and black screen.. the Desk top on the leapt

top is  set to the  I think Classic  style as  they are all neatly 
set-to the left the  screen. OF no  tis  desktop a Viglen GEni they  are 
like large blotches  ail over the a screen. There is a Theme called 
Dorothy's  The and  classic theme and a load of  tiers    some will turn the

screen to themost  awful glare a














 Dorothy














nd I have to shut my eyes at once.. I dare not  experiment in case    people

start getting  Email in black print on black as they  did before. so I am 
putting up with Jaws  acting in the most terrible  all ver the place as 
really  even those complex setting  which I cannot do  would Ok make thing 
abit  sir former but  I  not able to   do them At least  they aren't 
arriving black on black touch wood..



 I  am so sorry Andrew for the typing but if you could  see or hear Jaws 
well enough  said  if you  read the  early   one on thispagein late August 
and  early September you will the back ground. Dorothy
