I used to be able to see the weekly scan was performed, by a small green dot rear "scan computer". Now I don't see it anymore. Is my AVG Free faulty or is there another way to check whether the scan was done?
Thanks

Thank you.
After my scan all was well. Actually that message that kept returning stopped doing so after the scan had completed about 24% I will keep an eye on this and report back if there are any further issues with it. It was just rather unnerving to see this message popping up after I 'resolved it' and clicked the 'close' button.
Robert, If applicable… For your info, just in case that you are unaware, you can post the screenshot here in your topic. Click on 'Answer' & then click on the 'Image' [mountain symbol] & follow the instructions.
