The a/v s/w wouldn't let me delete those files. So I rang my computer shop again who advised me to turn off the computer, restart and do another full computer scan. That's currently in progress but so far no threats identified. I had another look at AVG's page on something called Linus/Miner which is an adware thing. At the bottom of the page were a number of user comments over the last couple of hourse from people who have had the same message I was getting. It rather looks as if AVG's previous update had resulted in the false warnings but that the most recent update had corrected this.

 

So it looks as if for the second time in a month AVG updates have resulted in either error messages (what I was getting a month ago) or false security messages.

 

For anyone who uses AVG, if you do get unexpected messages from the s/w do an update (from options). If that shows a more recent update than when the scan was done, if the message was an apparent security issue, do a whole computer scan to see if that issue is shown again.

Thanks Moonie The full computer scan was clear so I think that, and supported by the user comments I read, that it was a faulty AVG update which caused the problem. Only computers where the routine scan was done after the faulty update but before the correcting update would have had the security messages so only a proportion of AVG users rather than all.

Good morning everyone

 

Cold and sunny here.

 

Thanks Summer I'm fortunate in that as my a/v s/w is through my local computer shop, I've got people on hand to talk to (provided they are open). It's a bit concerning though that this is the second mistake by AVG in a month.

 

Yogi, I hope all went well yesterday

 

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning blue skies & sunshine here today I can’t wait to get out for a decent length walk! 

Yogi I think you deserve a relaxing day, I hope you thoroughly enjoy it  

 

I thought so too but I’m not getting one! Bride and groom are coming for tea.

I’ve just got home from our very cold walk, and had a hot chocolate now I’m going up in to the attic to get the decoration down!  

The furthest I walked today was down the garden and back

I hope the attic didn’t eat you Sweet 

Ditto Moonie, unless a walk round Tesco aisles counts?
