Bernice Robichaud receipt_pdf
I inadvertently clicked on a link in an email message and it installed what looks like a new drive "F" and the file in that drive is called receipt_pdf.exe . I tried to shred it with AVG but it said that access to the file was denied. YIKES! Can anyone help!??? I've sent a message to AVG support already .. waiting for their response.
Best Answer chosen by Bernice RobichaudBalasubramanian (Avast) Hi Bernice,
We could not find any request submitted by you other than this community post.
Could you provide the screenshot of window that shows 'receipt_pdf.exe'?
You can post the screenshot by clicking on 'Image symbol' from 'Answer' field.
If you see it as a drive on 'My Computer', then please right click on it and check whether it shows any option as 'Eject' or 'Unmount'.

We can investigate and sort this out.
Open AVG Internet Security program window.
Click on "Menu->About' and check whether it displays 20.5 version.
If not, refer this article and perform the update to check whether you get 20.5 version.
If the issue persist, perform repair of AVG Internet Security as mentioned in this article.
Keep monitoring the status of CPU usage along when you play a game.
Keep us posted.

Hor usas AVG very slow
Hey, I've got the free version. This recent month AVG has been extremely slow. For example when I try to bring up the AVG window it loads for a long time. When I scan 'one' file it takes about 20 seconds for it to finish. Browser popups and redirects are blocked to some extent but are delayed as well. It as never like this before. I've tried updating AVG...read somewhere that windows disk defrag might be the reason, so I defragged the hard drives.But nothing has helped. AVG used to be a rocket before all this, now every action with AVG is 'delayed'. My pc is generally fast/ great, so I'm thinking there's something wrong with AVG? Any ideas?
Best Answer chosen by Hor usasAvinash (Avast) Hor, we appreciate your efforts but regret to hear that the issue persists.
We'd like to confirm that all protection shields will be running in the background which actively protect your PC.
We'd request you to uninstall AVG AntiVirus free, restart your PC and install it again to check if that resolves the issue.
