That definitely sounds annoying. When AVG keeps alerting you about the same threat every time you boot up, it’s often because the threat wasn’t fully removed — or it’s being triggered by a program or file that loads on startup.
Here’s what you can try:
- Update AVG to make sure it’s using the latest virus definitions.
- Run a Deep Scan instead of a regular one — that often catches stubborn threats.
- Check Quarantine in AVG to see if the same file keeps coming back.
- Use Task Manager > Startup tab to see if anything suspicious is auto-loading.
- For extra safety, you can also scan with tools like Malwarebytes, just in case AVG missed something.
And if you’re using proxies or VPNs that may be flagged, it’s worth checking those settings too. I’ve seen cases where misconfigured proxy tools caused repeated alerts.
By the way, if you’re trying to access secure content or websites (like YouTube or cloud files) and want to avoid triggering antivirus flags, I recommend using a lightweight tool like ytcroxyproxy it’s a proxy that doesn’t require installation and avoids most antivirus conflicts.
