Hi Joe, Your lack of running a thorough virus scan is not good Joe. Firstly I am willing to bet that within your virus vault, this is the section of memory that your AVG anti virus uses as a kind of container like a prison cell where it holds any viruses it finds most likely has nasties in it and aslong as they are on the PC even held in this cell your computer will suffersome degraddation of performance etc. To check this virus vault in AVG do the following; Notice to all; I want you all to try this out and see how many of you have viruses hiding out in the virus vault of your AVG software. 1. Go to the desktop and then press the letter A, till jaws or window eyes says "AVG. Step 2. Press the enter key and wait for the AVG program to open up. Step 3.Press keys "alt + P" to open up the programs menu inside AVG and then arrowdown to the "AVG virus vault". Here again, press the enter key to open up the vault. Step 4. After waiting a few moments for the vault to open up, you can now use your arrow keys to determine what if any list of nasties you have as they willbe displayed there in a list box. If you have some then continue to the nextstep. Step 5.Arrow to and then press the delete key on each of the items in this list andanswer "ok or yes" if prompted to confirm that you wish to remove them. Keep doing this till the list becomes empty. Step 6. Reboot the PC after you have closed the virus vault and the AVG program using keys "alt + F4" (After the computer has restarted) Once you are back on the desktop again you must now run a full anti virus check, follow the below steps. Step 1. Press the letter "A" till jaws or window eyes says "AVG" then press the enter key and wait till AVG opens up. Step 2.Press keys alt + letter P" to open up the programs menu and then arrow downto "AVG control center." Step 3. Now either press the key "F4" or tab to run complete test" to begin AVG doing a virus check of the computer. Note this process takes some time, in some cases up to a few hours so set aside a time to do it. ******************************************************************** NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
