Try any other anti-virus and protection like quick heal trail version. and when it finish try other one when all finish reboot and try repeat trail versions

AVG has a history like the cave man evolving into what we are today . The only problem with protection is . The virus has to be know and how to fix it for any ANY virus protection program to work . That mean peoples computers have to be attacked and near destroyed before a fix it can be made . So for the first few days of the new attack of a virus EVERY computer on the planet can catch it . EXCEPT an Apple . Because their OS is not based on good old DOS . The cave mans way of writing on the caves wall what happen today in their life

I wouldn't recommend AVG if it's just the free edition you are asking for. The free version doesn't give you enough protection against online threats, but if you so insist on using it, here: http://free.avg.com/ww-en/free-antivirus-download What I would recommend is either Avira or Avast: http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download If you want to know why, see which of the free antivirus products have a high detection rate, makes very few false positives and the fastest scan engine. http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stories/test/ondret/avc_od_aug2011.pdf However, don't be satisfied with just an antivirus no matter which one you choose. Even with paid antivirus products, the bigger problem is detecting spyware. That's why you also need a separate product that focuses on spyware. The best I've used so far is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free When you install it for the first time, it will give you a few days to try the pro version that offers real-time protection against malicious sites that try to install spyware when you visit a dodgy site. After the trial period expires, it will switch to the free version but will only scan on your demand and won't block malicious sites. If you have money to spare, consider getting the pro version. A lifetime license only costs $25.

AVG Free Antivirus Is Best!
