Mike D Definition update notifications
Hi I have AVG Anti Virus on my Mac. i've done my best to turn off any non essential notifications but it feels like i constantly get notifications that the AV Definitions have been updated.
While this is , ultimately, good news, that the updates occur a few times a day id rather not be notified, my preference is for AV to be a product that does a very important job, silently behind the scenes and only tells me about things i must intervene with. if i want to ensure the defs are up to date i'd rather open the application and find out. - or notification of a failed update but not a successful one is more relevant/appropriate to me... this is when there's a problem.
how could i turn this off?

Best Answer chosen by Mike DKarthikeyan (Avast) Mike, notifications are received using system notification - it can be disabled in the system settings as described at https://goo.gl/Rj5iKB. At the moment, it's basically all or nothing however we are working on a better solution.

Joe DeWeese Continual File Shield alert screens
I just installed AVG for Mac. Everything seemed to be fine with scanning and quarantine. However, I now get the "File Shield alert" pop-up window continuously and it won't stop popping up. I have tried clicking "Got It" and just closing the window but it pops back up every 5 seconds or so. I can't get anything done because of this. How can I make it go away?? I used AVG on my PC for years and never had a problem. If I can't fix this I'll have to uninstall AVG for Mac.

Ale Med AVG Antivirus Won't Open On Apple Mac Mojave OS 10.14.1
Every time I upgrade my operating system for my MacBook Pro, AVG seems to give me a ton of trouble. AVG will not open its dashboard regardless of what I do now that I have upgraded to Mojave. I tried the High Sierra method which I posted on this forum on December 19, 2017, but it does not work for the Mojave operating system.
The High Sierra method is...
1. Open Terminal app
2. Copy and paste the following command (including the quotation marks):
launchctl load -w -S Aqua "/Library/Application Support/AVGAntivirus/launch/LaunchAgents/com.avg.userinit.plist"
3. Execute the command
4. Copy and paste the following command (including the quotation marks):
launchctl load -w -S Aqua "/Library/Application Support/AVGAntivirus/launch/LaunchAgents/com.avg.update-agent.plist"
5. Execute the command
High Sierra method AVG forum direct link: https://support.avg.com/answers?id=9060N000000ToDmQAK
I also tried to Mojave method provided by Alok Kumar on this forum from a few days ago but to no avail. Nothing works. What am I missing?
The Mojave method is...
1. Open Terminal app
2. Copy and paste the following command:
codesign --deep --verify /Applications/AVGAntivirus.app
3. Execute the command
4. Copy and paste the following command:
ls -al /Applications/AVGAntivirus.app/Contents/MacOS
Support/AVGAntivirus/launch/LaunchAgents/com.avg.update-agent.plist"
5. Execute the command

Best Answer chosen by Ale MedAle MedI now have the correct answer. I got in touch with an AVG senior team member who helped touch up the code I had been working to get running. There is only one step needed for Mojave, unlike High Siera which had two separate lines of code required. To resolve the issue for Mojave users, follow the instructions listed below
1. Open Terminal app
2. Copy and paste the following command (including the quotation marks):
launchctl load -w -S Aqua "/Applications/AVGAntivirus.app/Contents/Backend/launch/LaunchAgents/com.avg.userinit.plist"
3. Execute the command
I hope that helps a lot of people :)

David Griffith AVG Driver Updater Installation Error "The subject is not trusted for the specified action"
Hello, No doubt this gets asked occasionally but not an error I've met before.
I have AVG Driver Updater with multiple licenses as I look after my own computers, those of my children and also my aged mother in law... She has a new laptop so I installed AVG Ultimate on it - NO problem whatsoever... BUT when I came to install AVG Driver Updater I keep getting this error message coming up... Is it linked to the fact that her laptop is Windows 10 and the rest of my charges are on Windows 7?
Many thanks

Samuel Pahus AVG blocking access to Gmail and Facebook
I can not access Gmail and Facebook in the Firefox browser when AVG AntiVirus is activated. Everything works fine when I deactivate AVG.
Is there somehow a way to solve this problem without having to deactivate AVG completely?
