Hello,
A network connection called "AVG Security" is always on. I don't know what is it for and I would like it disabled. I disconnect but it reconnects again in a minute or two. 
What purpose does it serve?
How can I disable it?

Thanks

Just received it. Thanks Midhun.
The most concening this is that the dialer doesn't show a host or IP address of the server.
I will go ahead and uninstall and reinstall.

Thanks

You can uninstall all the programs affiliated with AVG & then reinstall the programs that are required to check.
