  • Hi,

    would think that if you've had them in the vault for a few days, and no problems, then it should be ok.
  • Help, you've worried me! How do you know you've got something in your vault???? I just run AVG and trust it works. I keep it on automatic update and check daily as well that it has the most up to date definitions. Is there something else I am supposed to be doing?:eek:

    I think it depends on whether you're using the paid for or free version

    No it doesn't.


    Look at your AVG program a bit closer, you can look to see if anything is in the vault.


    If you have something in your vault then AVG has done its job.

    Use the AVG program to empty the vault.

    Open the AVG Control centre and click on Help Topics to learn how to use the program.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:
