AVG Free

Is anyone else unable to update this programme?I have not been able to do so for several days.Process starts but download speed gets into single figure bytes/sec and eventually times out.Not having any other connection problems,just AVG

Having used AVG Free in the past I have now opted for Microsoft Security Essentilas which is far better and Free. Comodo is also very good as an alternative and also Free.

I find MSE excellent EDDIE51 and its the only programme I use. I have Malwarebytes also just for running a quick scan as backup.

Hi guys - i've got MSE as well .

One thing bothers me though and that is I cant see anywhere where it tells you what date/time the last scan was actually carried out .

If I am around i can see it scanning at the appointed time . ( mine is set to scan daily at 2000 hrs )

However when i'm not around I would like to check later, to confirm that the scan was indeed carried out .
There doesn't seem to be anywhere where this can be checked .

I've got four sections , headed - Home - Update - History - Settings

Am i missing a section - does your MSE gives the information i'm looking for ?

Mine is exactly the same BertiWooster. As far as I can tell it does not tell you when last scan was carried out. When the Scan takes place the icon in notification Tray shows that a Scan is taking place.

When installing AVG version 9 and above, did you select to index immediately? If you did not, you will need to leave your computer alone while AVG does an initial index. This took mine around 2 hours. After the indexing has finished, everything is fine.
