 |  AVG results Everytime I run AVG anti spyware,it comes up with tracking cookies.I run it,remove them,reboot,run the scan,and bingo! Now there are more than when I started with,and the ones that were previously removed,are back as well. SS&D didnt find anything on a second scan after initial removal.I ran McAffee and found nothing.Ran the registry cleaner,cleared cookies,cache etc. I also ran windows defender and found nothing. Is the AVG full of dung or am I losing my mind?   | ||||||||||||||

| Re: AVG results my vote's on AVG full of dung. I personally don't think AVG's good at all, only useful to stop windows from popping up the antivirus not found icon (which you can disable anyway)   Cosmos 1000 Asus P5Q Deluxe Q9450 TRUE 120 Extreme Black Edition W/ Yate Loon Fans 4GB G.Skills PC8500 2x2gb Seagate HD x 3 (2 7200.10 (320gb, 500gb), 1 7200.11 (1TB) Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio 2 Visiontek HD4850 in Crossfire Acer P241W Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 | ||||||||||||||

 | Re: AVG results I have never had a problem with AVG... it sounds like with multiple programs on the system one is preventing AVG from removing those files so they stay where they are. I myself use a combination of AVG for email, Avira for regular anti-virus stuff, Spyware Terminator for spyware protection, Spyware Blaster to prevent alot of it from even being written to my system and Comodo firewall. I tried ThreatFire but even on my E6600 system it was too much of a resource hog. I always say stick with one program for each use because many times they conflict. Mcafee and Norton are the two biggest causes of conflict on any system.  Thanks HL and Corsair! My opinions are my own and not representative of this site or its members.  | ||||||||||||||

| Re: AVG results Try clearing out your system restore files, then run Spybot and AVG again.

| Re: AVG results on top of what Carl said, it may help to run a few scans in safe mode to make sure a virus or trojan isn't in the background preventing the removal of these files Thanks HL and Corsair! My opinions are my own and not representative of this site or its members. | ||||||||||||||
