Just need an understanding please

Hello Geoff. The threats may attempt to enter anytime  within your system and the antivirus software catches it often during the transfer of files and folders. Thank you.

Thank you for the explanation Geoff. You mean that you get threat detected message from AVG only when the Folder is moved to a particular place.

Could you please provide us the path where you moved the Folder? Wherever it is moved does it detects the threat?

If you provide the name of the threat detected it will be more helpful for us to assist you better. Thank you.

(Hopefully) quite a straightforward question…

Why is it that after a Full AVG Scan, where nothing shows up, I then start a folder move and a couple of AVG prompts, offering me the chance to remove the threats, pop up?

Thanks for that Balasubramanian.

The laptop is my nephews.  After reading your reply, I did a Remote link to his laptop and did another copy (of the folder created when I saw the first threats) but nothing detected this time (presumably AVG cleared it all up when previously found?)

Anyway, I will watch out for this in future - and follow the advice you give, before submitting a request for help.

Many thanks for your help on this… it is much appreciated.

Best Regards.
