For the past 2 weeks or so, I will be going about my business on my computer, when all of a sudden I get a message that AVG wants me to restart my computer! I have it set up so that it automatically updates every day. I never used to get a message requiring a restart before. I did try seeking help at AVG itself, but couldn't find my specific help topic. Does anyone here use AVG Free + have run into the same annoyance? Thank you honu1 -------------------- Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

Nothing to worry! Or worry if it doesn’t!! I have Avast does the same. Stelios -------------------- Stelios BleepingComputer Security Blog Stelios-DASOS & Black_Swan security info
