Subject: AVG -not to load at startup? |
Comment: I was not sure how to configure AVG not to load at start up, Inaculatit was clear it said ck to load at start up or disable, as I remember, I downloaded AVG, works great but just was not sure so I disabled it in msconfig not to start so I can start it once a week when updating and checking for virus's, Is this what I should do or is their a better way. Sue Love the Forum for security and virus, its great, seperates it from the other one.

Reply: If you have it running on startup it will check your mail as you receive it. But its really up to you how you use it.

Reply: My email is protected thru Hot Mail, I have it configured for all my mail to be recieved thru their, even though it does not say @hotmail.com, so unless I am wrong? their should be no danger that way & when I download a program I always check it and delete my cookies before I close down and History and have zone alarm in high gear, so I think I am alright that way, after all I use to run Nortons all the time, I had crashes slowdowns and Yes I caught a virus with emil protection thru them and had a heck of a time ended up having to reinstall everything when I was running W98se, so I did not renew when my service was up also had the Internet Securiy, which kept me from going to a lot of web sites, The Virus Protection mainley for files I download and piece of mind, if I am wrong about all this, I sure would like to know, you see I have a old computer 1996 so my computer is not suppose to be all that fast, but with zone alarm running all the time and my AntiVirus check as I do above, seems to not bother my speed.

Reply: Sue, Read response # 2 and then read it again, its the best advice you can have. Some of the new two step viruses are quite nasty. AVG is good stuff. It works as I have put it through a few real tests with real code.
