Every morning, when I start using my PC, my first step is to run AVG. The first AVG step is to check for updates. I need both kinds of updates. The 1st update starts up automatically, of course. Then I request the 2nd AVG update = check for AVG product updates.
..
OK so far.
..
Then my 3rd AVG step is to go back to the home page and request Scan Computer.
..
That is where lies the frequent AVG problem = AVG responds to Scan Computer by displaying the window for scanning, BUT it shows that a Scan Computer has already been completed. The window displays the results summary of the PREVIOUS Scan Computer. The window is idling = not doing anything further.
..
What I want AVG to do is to start a Scan Computer process normally = begin at first scanning check = check Browser, and continue from that point on with its subsequent scanning checks.
..
My workaround for this frequent AVG software defect = close the AVG window, and Restart my PC.
..
That isn't too bad, when it's needed, but I am annoyed by it. At least I can get AVG to scan my computer. After the PC restart, AVG correctly responds to Scan Computer. Nevertheless, the restart requirement is annoying.
..
Annoying = Restarting my PC takes time, but then there is MORE delay. After the PC is up and running, I then have to wait for AVG to get up and running. AVG take a long time to get up and running.
..
I don't object, at all, that AVG takes a long time to start up, after restarting my PC. I understand why.
..
But I don't like it when I have wait for my PC to restart, and wait even more, for AVG to start, when it was not MY DECISION to restart my PC, in the first place.
..
Last but least, when I say "frequent" I probably should say "Almost Always". Not needing my workaround (restart my PC) does sometimes occur, and it = A Good Surprise, but this is NOT "frequent".
