AVG update antivirus software.

[anotheoldgit]

I keep getting a pop-up from my free AVG.

It tells me to up-date my 'anti-virus free 2011' software.

There are 5 boxes, at the moment only one has a tick in it, that is Anti-virus protection. the 4 other boxes that are un-ticked are 'Stop hackers from entering your PC', 'Download and exchange files safely', 'Keep your Emails safe and block spam', '24/7 free technical support' then it gives me the opportunity to 'download your free support'.

If I was to do this it would apparently give me the same support as the 'Internet security 2011, recommended protection.

What is the catch, are they offering me a limited trial of 'Internet security 2011, after which I will have to subscribe?

Just go to the link I put on and it removes the old version of AVG and puts the new one on in it's place.

Wow that was scary, it took ages and at one stage I was without any virus protection.

But it finally clicked in and I did a full system scan, and I had no threats.

So thank you very much for all your help.

Only got to know how to download that Malware now.

Try clicking on this:

That should download it without you having to mess about.

I downloaded that malware thingy and it seems fine, sorted out several infected files. It is OK isn't it?

Thanks to the very large response to my question, I now have AVG 2011 and Malware on my computer.

I have conducted a full scan with AVG and it found no problems, and a quick scan with Malware which found 5 objects which I have removed.

Thank you all for all your time and all your help.
