> 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.
