AVG Free Only Scans for a few Seconds

AVG Free: was not Updated automatically, then I Updated.  It requested Restart which I did.  When I opened it back up, it said it had not updated for like 6 months or something which was wrong!  I click Scan Computer and evey time I do, it takes about 3 seconds to report the browser was scanned, then maybe 5 seconds to report the computer was scanned!  Not remotely possible!  Help, please.

Hello Nancy,

I understand the inconvenience.
In general, the first computer scan will alone take time, whereas the consecutive scans will take a few minutes or seconds.
The latest version was designed in such a way to speed up the scanning process and also to perform in an effective way.
If you would like to perform a thorough scanning, then initiate a "Deep virus scan" from the scan settings.
Open AVG Antivirus free, click on "Gear icon" near "Scan computer' to get into scan settings.
I request you to check whether you have the latest 18.1 version of AVG Antivirus free.
Open AVG Antivirus free, click on "Menu–>Settings–>Update" to check the information.
