david mcadam Subscription renewal
I recently received notification by email that my subscription for AVG internet security had been renewed. I did NOT receive prior notification and I did not give permission and nor did I want it renewed. I sent you an email on 18 May informing you of this and to confirm that I DID NOT WANT IT RENEWED. I also said I did not want any subscriptions renewed in future and requested that you confirm in writing by email that this has been done. You have not replied.
Unless I hear from you within the next 5 days I will be taking this matter up with trading standards as you have taken money from my credit card without permission and I will also intend to contact HSBC my credit card supplier immediately.
I await you response and confirmation

Howard Habler Virus Alert when log onto Microsoft Edge.
When logging onto Microsoft edge a virus alert appears with a voice warning and instructions. It cannot be deleted or bypassed. There is no such occurrence when I log onto Google Chrome or internet explorer.
I currently have AVG Free coverage and have updated frequently, including today.

Shoji Fukumoto Scheduled Scan
I scheduled "Schedule Scan" with setting all files, using AVG AntiVirus FREE
It started at the scheduled time, but I have the following questions
(1) What kind protection scans does it performed?
(2) Do I have to schedule "Deep Scan"?
(3) I set to report the test result configuring "report file". Where can I find the result?
(4) "Last SCAN Date" in the first page is not updated after this scan?

Best Answer chosen by Shoji FukumotoBalasubramanian (Avast) The reports file should be available under the path C:\Program Data\AVG\Antivirus\Reports and it is the same for any windows operating system that you use.
To be sure, have you clicked on "Schedule Scan" and selected "Report File" option from it?

Jeffrey Bratter Incorrect information for "Last computer scan"
Regarding the AVG Antivirus Free program I have been using with my desktop pc and two laptops for many years. I find that I am writing on this forum about incidents of instability, more often now than in the past. My virus definitions and Program files are always up to date.
This time, the "Last computer scan: 4 days ago" indication on the lower left side of the home page, does not reflect the latest scans I have done within the last four days. Those scans were Computer Scan, File or Folder Scan, USB / DVD Scan and Deep Scan. Each completed with Infected files: 0. A similar error occurs on my Lenovo laptop, but with "Last computer scan: 6 days ago." I did various scans in the last 6 days, including a Boot-Time Scan.
Why doesn't the "Last computer scan" indication, reflect the date / time since the latest scan? It used to say "seconds ago" right after a scan.

Best Answer chosen by Jeffrey BratterJeffrey BratterI do not want you to think that AVG has not served me well over the many years I have used it. AVG has been good to me when it comes to virus protection. It has always intercepted incoming viruses and always quaranteed infected files. I have never had a virus deliver it's destructive payload, thanks to your program. I would recommend it to anybody who wants to keep their pc safe from the bad guys. I will always use it rather than another AV program.
But you have to work on the various glitches I have experienced, that take away the efficiency, reliability and fun of monitoring my pcs.

Jagannath Adavi AVG Scanning and repairing drive (C): stuck at 11%
After a clean instal of Windows 10, I downloaded and installed my licensed copy of AVG PC Tuneup. I opted to scan drive C, and was prompted to restart the PC, which I did. Now the message is:"Scanning and repairing drive (C): 11% complete". The scan is stuck at 11% for about an hour. What should I do?

To be sure, have you followed the steps as mentioned (here) to stop disk scan?

Cindy Tran Concerns on disabling "HTTPS scanning" to fix Firefox insecure connection.
Disabling "HTTPS scanning" did fix Firefox's insecure connection issue, however, I'm immensely concerned when turning it off. I've read through many Firefox forums and none of the solutions have worked (other than this one, of course). I'm wondering what the consequences are as I don't understand this fully, and if anyone has a safe alternative fix.
(I'm not sure if this matters, but I scanned with AVG and found no issues or viruses. I also did a reinstall of AVG)
Thanks in advance.

Dilip Simeon Aborted downloads
My PC has Windows 7 Ultimate; I've been an AVG customer for 15 years, and have always downloaded PDFs from libgen. Suddenly from May 2, my downloads are being blocked by AVG, with this message: We've safely aborted connection on dl3.libgen.io because it was infected with URL:Mal
Details given are:
URL starting http://dl3.libgen.io
Process: C:\Program\Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
Detected by Web Shield
Connection aborted
Please tell me how to fix the settings for this, as I never had any problem with the downloads, they are certainly not infected.
