The latest AVG, ever since I installed it, likes to take me from whatever
game I'm playing to the desktop. It happened during both Age of
Mythology, and Age of Empires III. It never happened before updating AVG.
I shut down what I could shut down with the Task Manager, and whatever
didn't immediately relaunch itself after I shut it down, and that solved
the problem. What I need to know is how do you get AVG to utterly shut
down all aspects of itself? That seems to be impossible.

Thanks,

Unistall it. Obviously. Why are you even bothering to use it again?

Then get something which suits you better.

Try searching this and related newsgroups for many many suggestions and
comments, and then make up you own mind.

Cheers,

It probably happens during automatic updates. If that is the case, turn that
function off.
Try the free Avira. It is simple to turn it on and off by just rt clicking
on the taskbar icon and unchecking the enable choice.

That's one of the stupidest things to write. I like AVG. I just don't
want it running at certain times, at all. And uninstalling it is a stupid
thing to do because I'd just have to reinstall it after playing whatever
game I'm playing.

Oh, I dunno... It's a virus scanner. I used to not bother using them
since I didn't open mysterious files I received in e-mail, but since
certain things can be stuffed into web pages, I decided some time ago to
start running an anti-virus program.

Someone should break your newsreader.

It's always such a pleasure to read such a cultured and well reasoned
response, so rare here.

Do have a nice day, it sounds as though you need one badly.

Pip! Pip! old bean.
