Hi Nivard, Yes, I agree with you. With AVG I also run 3 spy ware programs on my system. I run all three of them on a weekly basis. What one might miss, the other might pick up. Since uninstalling Norton, I have had no problems with my computer. I keep current on all updates. One is inviting trouble if they don't keep current. Hope Carolyn gets her system running correctly.
