1 of 2 problems: Windows Security Says AVG is turned off
Comments (6)I would not use that program, I would do as stated and install the free malwarebytes, update it and run a full scan and let it clean what it finds. usually when a program is not allowed to run on a pc and it is a security program it is because there is an infection on the pc which prevents them from running so it will not be detected. I would add malwarebytes to the pc you say will not run superantispyware also. If you are unable to run these programs also that is confirmation you have an infection stopping the security programs. If that is the case you will need to go to a security support forum for some in depth assistance. Once you have done the malwarebytes scan and let it clean please come back and inform us of the results, posting the log would be helpful. the game itself may contain the infection which is why it won't allow you to remove it....See MoreAnother AVG question....
Comments (4)One of the safest places to download genuine software with no unwanted installers or toolbars is Filehippo. e,g, Search for "Filehippo free AVG 2015 32 bit" or 64bit. The required download button is the top right green box that has the filename on it so you can double check it is the correct version. This applies to all free software. I would uninstall your current version and start over.

Comments (26)OK, I understand and it makes sense. Sometimes, on these forums its easy to forget that its not just forum members and GW that can read posts. I'll try the other ways suggested. Thanks for all your time and the explanations. I've done some googling and I'm not seeing what would be expected from Zlob. No popups, nor sites that pop up telling me I've been infected and click here to remove. and I haven't been to any porn sites, unless you'd call searching for California King bedding on legitimate sites porn. What I am seeing is cursor not responding properly, and sometimes getting a strange mssg. on AVG antispy saying "connect to server" when I'm already connected and trying to run a search. Still under warranty but Best Buy Geek said it would take 7-10 days to diagnose. Yikes! Think I'll buy a new mouse in hopes that will help. I'm a Bills fan, so used to hoping for miracles. Thanks again, all. Sandy...See MoreMS Security Esentials versus AVG?
Comments (7)Jean I installed MSE almost as soon as it came out in the final version and have no reason to want to change. I have no other safety program on this, my main computer. That is not to say anyone should follow suit and only have one. My wife's computer has MSE and Malwarebytes but I cannot remember the last time I ran a scan with that for her. I do update it occasionally of course. Last week for the first time MSE had a small fit, it did not auto update and I had to do it manually. Since then it has behaved itself. However, having a small glitch like that can tell us things, it placed an orange icon on my taskbar informing me of the issue so now I am comforted by knowing I can expect that icon in times of trouble. As with any free program you can install it to try and if you are unhappy it can easily be removed....See More- 8 years ago
