Hello John,
We're glad to help you.
To begin with, let me clarify about the AVG AntiTrack, it is not an antivirus program but it is a privacy application designed to keep your identity safe from the latest online tracking techniques, and protect your system privacy.
AVG AntiTrack injects fake information into the data that makes up your digital fingerprint. This action changes what information trackers and third parties can see about you. AVG AntiTrack also clears tracking cookies and browser data from your web browsers.
Antivirus products (AVG AntiVirus FREE/ AVG Internet Security) are designed to protect your device from security threats, such as viruses, trojans, and malware, but will not prevent online tracking. Unlike VPN and antivirus products, AVG AntiTrack is designed to prevent third parties and advertisers from tracking your online activity.
If you wish to scan your files for malware, you may need to subscribe to our premium AVG antivirus program (AVG Internet Security) or also you can try out our basic virus protection (AVG AntiVirus FREE) and run the deep scan.
I purchased AVG Anti-tracking because it scans and removes malware. I have a few files in quarantine that were placed there due to malware. I want to remove the malware. I do not see where in this product that it does that.
