Samara:
It is a good idea to do the updates first.
Set the time for the scan to start about half an hour after the time you set
for the update.

Thank you. I was able to do that. Is it okay to make everything happen at the
same time? The scans and the updates?

Hi Samara;
you can change the AVG'S scanning schedule, and, when the program updates.
I'm not using AVG right now, however,
if you open AVG, now, go to tools, then, advanced, you should be able to
change the above mentioned settings their.

Oh cool! Maybe I'll do that. Grins. I'm new with AVG, so I'll have to
fiddle around with it to see how to change the scan times and such. Thank you!
LOLOLOLOL about the MS essentials thing.

Dear Sam,
I have the paid version of AVG now, but I used the FREE version for
many years and it is true, it does slow down your computer a bit, depending how
much RAM you have I suppose, so yes, I set it to do a "Full System" scan late
at night when I am less active on my computer, reading a book or listening to a
dvs movie or whatever.
Yes you must use the jaws cursor, but very easy that way to negotiate
anything!
Most folks will not agree with me, but I simply do not trust the same
people who allowed such security holes or cracks in your Operating System,
(Microsoft) to give you something to stop viruses, mal ware, spy ware!
And mark my words, it will not be "Free" forever, just till Microsoft
believe they have captured the market, destroyed the anti-virus program
manufacturers, then they shall drop the bomb shell that it will now cost you!
LOL!
An old marketing trick!
I shall keep this message, so I can say "I told you so"!
AVG has never let me down,!
You can purchase a AVG Disk which comes with a 2 year subscription to
New definitions, Off-The-Shelf, in any computer store for $29, cheaper than on
their Web Site!
Why cheaper purchased in a store, I have no idea!
But it updates twice a day, and I trust it completely!
With Best Regards,

Hi. I have AVG 9.0 free on my computer. I've heard it's accessible,
and it is to a certain extent, but it's all jaws cursor. Is that how it's
supposed to be? I'd ask about it slowing down jaws, but I think that's just
because it makes the entire computer crawl.
I've also heard about MS Essentials. Some of you have recommended it.
I tried it on my laptop when one care was discontinued, but windows security
didn't seem to recognize that there was protection on the computer and kept
giving me warnings. I've a desktop now, windows XP, jaws 10, and I just wanted
to know before I made a decision to either switch AVG scans to late at night
when they won't interfere with me or to switch completely to ms essentials, is
that normal? For the windows security manager not to recognize ms essentials?
Does it run that quietly? And how do I know for certain that it's working if I
keep getting warnings?
Thanks so much.
Sam
