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 as
long as they are on the PC even held in this cell your computer will suffer
some 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 arrow
down 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 will
be displayed there in a list box. If you have some then continue to the next
step.

Step 5.
Arrow to and then press the delete key on each of the items in this list and
answer "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 down
to "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.
