When I bought my new Del a few months ago, I received a AVG disc with it. I never installed it, however. Is this system difficult to install? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

HI Ted,I'm not sure if you have the same program that I do, from one thing you say. By which I mean the current version of AVG Free. Because you say it reminds you to update. With mine, the update is done automatically at the same time every day. I think you can reset that time, just as you can change the timeof the daily scan, but I haven't looked, because the process isn't an inconvenience for me. You don't have to to do anything. AVG flashes a message notifying you that it's beginning an online update (if you have abroadband connection like DSL and cable, you're always online, so you don't have to actually be on the Web or anything at that moment; AVG will just golook for its update files). The only hassle I notice is that if you're blind or very low vision and using a screen reader, you may be using the keyboard to type and press Windows and screen readers commands during this process, accidentally giving the order to cancel the update, either as it begins or when it flashes a second notice telling you that the update is successfully finished. Each time, it shows what must be a little dialoguewindow with a couple of buttons, like OK and cancel, which you can press byaccident if you're typing at the moment. But it doesn't take long torecognize the Windows chime sounds that alert you to these dialogues or ask you if you really want to cancel the update at either point inn the process,just because you were writing and spell checking an email message and hitCancel in the midst of it. And if you're nervous thinking you have canceledthe update, you can always go to the AVG Control Center item in your task tray, where it resides, launch it,press F9 to check for updates, and go through it again, this time being careful to wait the few seconds it takes to happen. In fact, I was typing the end of that last sentence when I gotthe Windows chimes you get when you try to type somewhere incorrectly, so I just took my hands off for a second, pressed Insert B to read which dialoguethis was (it was the one to say the update had been successfully done) and click the OK button to close the dialogue. It's really not much trouble. And, of cores, you can do this manually bylaunching the AVG control center anytime you wish. Though you don't have tokeep doing it all day. If AVG thinks one update daily is safe enough, I'm willing to go with that and not worry that some new, lethal virus is going to hit me three hours after the update unless I update constantly, hoping they've written new code to defend against it in those three hours. Hope this helps.----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)" <Ted.Lisle@xxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 5:05 AM Subject: RE: antivirus program You can schedule scans. Updates are pretty easy. First, it'll remind you, just as Norton always did. Second, any time you happen to be on the Web, just open the program and hit F9. If memory serves (and I set it up and have pretty well left it alone), you set up scans from the main control center. Furthermore, you can get a PDF copy of the user manual from the Web site.
