General discussion

I have uninstalled the software, but the file still runs after a reboot. In one hour about 300MB of data comes up and download.

Ralf,

Thank you for providing the screenshot.

"com.avg.proxy" is process for Webshield. Web Shield scans data that is transferred when you browse the internet in real-time to prevent malware, such as malicious scripts, from being downloaded and run on your Mac. All internet traffic goes though it if you have enabled the Web shield feature. You may recommend disabling Webshield to test it. Traffic for that process then should be much smaller.

Thanks for your understanding.
