A routine scan reported 2 threats found on my HTC 10. SmartSearch and SmithLite have been classified as Malware but are system apps and can't be deleted. I could not find any information on these as threats and no other security software found anything wrong. But I reset to factory settings to be safe. Unfortunately a scan after the reset still marks those as Malware. This leads me to believe the scan is marking them as a false positive but would like to confirm. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I changed sim card when I returned back home. I appears my Anti Theft app kicked in and it required a logon passworld. I think after a couple of unsuccessful attempts my phone has been locked and I cannot even enter a password should l receive it again.

Desparately need to reconnect with my phone.  I did try and phone AVG but did not have much luck. Hopefully this will work and my problem will be solved soon.

Thanaks

My alarm used to allow for a few snoozes and then require a bar code scan to turn off. In the last few weeks, though, the alarm immediately says "Max snoozes have been exceeded," although no snoozes were ever allowed. (This alarm should allow five snoozes.) I've tried deleting the alarm and creating a new one, but this behavior persists. I need my snoozes back! Any suggestions?

Hello E,

I understand the inconvenience.
This shouldn't happen with AVG.
Let us check the status by reinstalling the app.
You can uninstall Alarm Clock Xtreme in Google Play. Follow these steps:
Open Google Play from the apps screen of your device and search for Alarm Clock Xtreme.
Tap Alarm Clock Xtreme to open the app information page.
Tap Uninstall, then tap OK to confirm the uninstallation.

I changed my SIM card and the AVG app locked my phone.  I got an email with login instructions saying I could login with my gmail account but when I do it says:  "Different devices are registered under your AVG MyAccount.
Please logout and log in again using AVG MyAccount"

But when I try to login using AVG MyAccount  (using the email I got the AVG email at)  it does not work.   I tried asking for a password reset but I never get a reset email.

Please help, I have no phone service :(

Hello Cui,

The offline virus definition updater is not available for AVG.

You should have an active Internet connection to receive updates for AVG.

Hi,
 
1) I temporarily changed SIM cards in my phone and my phone's AVG Anti-Theft system asked for the password (or PIN?) I used when I first installed. I thought I typed in what I usually use but it doesn't let me in. I don't even think I set up a password for that at the beginning... But whatever.
I tried all sorts of password combinations in vain, so now my phone is locked through AVG Anti-Theft system and I cannot get in. 

My Wifi is turned on so I get notifications and phone calls even, I just can't process them.
 
2) I logged in my AVG Account on the website, through https://www.avgmobilation.com/, in the hope of trying to manage my phone remotely, but it says: "Sorry, your device, E5823, cannot be controlled using the Anti-Theft web site." 
 
3) I can't even reset the password, which would be convenient, since the phone is mine, it's here with me, I have my AVG account but nothing works.
 
4) I keep on receiving these Break-In Alert emails from the system, with my photo taken by the phone, trying to get my phone back but it won't let me.
 
5) I have since put my old, normal usual SIM back in, my legitimate phone number, but I can't use my phone.
 
Please help me get my phone back.
Thank you so very much.

Okay, solved it through http://www.askmefast.com/HOW_DO_I_UNLOCK_MY_PHONE_IF_I_FORGOT_THE_PASSWORD_FOR_AVG_ANTI_THEFT-qna6874222.html password is limited to 6 characters, so whatever password I was used to type anyway had to be truncated to 6 characters, something I have completely forgotten, and AVG Anti-Theft doesn't tell you that as a reminder...
Thank you for trying to help. Happy Holidays.

Hi Alarm Clock Xtreme Developer

Is now not the time to change the GUI of Alarm Clock Xtreme?
I love the alarm clock it is the best function alarm clock.
But the GUI is no longer the year 2014.
Is it possible to update the GUI?
Like the App "Timely"?
Play-Store Link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.bitspin.timely&hl=de

This point can make this product better
- Add a "+" status bar for make a quick alert
- Set a now alarm in 2-3 clicks
- Set the time fast like the Timely app

Thanks for a feedback.

Best Regards
Jan from Switzerland
