johnson tai USB/DVD scan in AVG internet security
I use to get an option prompt every time I put in a USB into my pc by saying ' Do you wish to turn off automatic scan ?', I turned it off at one point and it never offer the option again. Is there any way to bring back this option prompt again ? If it is possible, how?
Thx,
Johnson Tai.

Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
We understand that you want to get prompt to scan USB/DVD. We'll certainly check and help you out.
AVG Antivirus provides a range of scans to help protect your PC from viruses and malware. You can also create your own scan and specify the parameters. Refer to the sections in this article for details about the following Scans:
Scanning your PC for viruses with AVG AntiVirus (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=avg-antivirus-pc-virus-scan&q=scan&supportType=home)
I request you create a custom scan that runs according to your specifications:
-Open AVG AntiVirus and go to Run other scans ▸ Scheduled scans.
-Click Create a new scan.
-Define the scan parameters and settings
-Parts of your PC to scan and select "All removable media" (enabled by default): Tick to enable AVG to scan applications that launch automatically when you insert a USB or other removable device into your PC. Scanning removable media may take a long time due to speed limitations.
If you have any queires, do let me know.
Thank you and keep us updated.
