  • Am asking a dumb question re AVG

    I have AVG-free Version 8.5. I have programmed it to do a daily virus scan at 12 noon every day. Now, the dumb question is do I need to have the pc switched on and running for this daily scan to take place at 12 noon each day please?

    Yes you do Stella.
    I wouldn't worry too much if you miss out a day here or there - the one good thing about AVG is that it automatically connects to the internet when you turn your machine on to see if there are any updates. As long as the updates are "up to date" then you shouldn't have to worry too much.

      Thanks Elaine. I did wonder 'cos it didn't scan today and I didn't have the pc switched on. Cheers.

        There seems to be a problem with today's update - it won't work for me either, even if I try to do it manually.

        I get the message "The update control file is missing", and it appears to be an AVG problem:

          Hi, I've just updated now and it is working fine. Give it another try.

                This made my day, I hear this stuff all the time from people and it cracks me up.
