    AVG free trial
    « on: June 16, 2017, 02:08:04 PM »
    My free trial is over, & I get messages that I have 'junk files' not cleared away, & various other issues. I'm encouraged to buy AVG Antivirus, as none of these issues will be taken care of otherwise. Can't afford this. What to do instead ?

    Junk files are harmless. If you aren't going to buy the paid version of AVG, uninstall it and replace it with a GOOD, free anti virus.

    Hello and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.

    1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
    2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
    3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
    4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
    5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
    6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
    7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

    If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.

    You should download and install MicroSoft Security Essentials. Uninstall AVG and run a scan with your MS. Please let me know how that goes.
