AVG has become a piece of joke now. I have 5 computers running AVG which have never had a false positive on WCG files.Suggestion: uninstall it and use something else that is MUCH better (e.g. Avast!, etc.) What I meant was how good it detects REAL viruses. Also its high resource usages. And I have got no trust on them at all after they released this piece of crap... |
