Disabling the memory resident AVG components will disable all
real-time virus scanning.

dont think that statement is not quite correct

I run avg to check the email but i have the schedued real time scan turned
off.
But the anti virus feature is still running in the background
Several weeks ago on Oct 7 05 this quote was the start of a very long
weekend for quite a few people that had AVG set up to run a scheduled check
quote
"My virus program is detecting a virus in all recent P2E presentations I've
made (the .exe files). The virus name is Trojan Horse PSW.Banker.HMQ. It
doesn't show in any other program - anyone know anything about this? Is P2E
embedding the virus - or is it a case of mistaken identity?"
end quote

it was Monday the 10 th before AVG had the problem resolved -- they had
issued a wrong update and any exe that had been made with a certain version
of software was classed as virus and was put in the vault -- stupid me  i
ran a spot scan and lost > 1 gb of slideshows to the vault which were
recovered when avg issued  the proper update

the slideshow author provided us with a test version to send to avg but AVG
would dump to the vault  when entering the mail progrom

i got a copy of the zip file off my isp server  --did a save as to my
drive - avg would not let me extract the program from the zip
so lesson learned -- you better think about running scheduled scans with
untested dat files that in some cases are automaticlly installed if as some
have said they are setup to receive them-

- couple years ago Norton done same thing -false dat
