Time to ask who, have you ever tried to ask a question in the AVG free
forum...first you get told you are not posting in the right forum, then a
lecture about reading all the FAQ's first before posting and finally a
link is provided that tells you of a suggested drastic measure on how to
remove virus from your computer. I know they are all volunteers, and any
help is always appreciated but geez AVG should have some guidelines for
these volunteers on how to respond to questions, it's almost like the
experience you go through trying to get one of those mail in rebates
validated and a cheque mailed to you.(G)
Thats why I posted the question here hoping I could be spared that
experience again.
Once bitten , twice shy.(G)

First one (yours)I just pasted it in and saved it, second one I deleted
that file and copied the new file in.
As for asking AVG, see my other message, also AVG doesn't provide support
for the free AVG with tech staff, only a volunteer hosted forum.
