Methen Private Question about avg scans
I can take a run a full avg scan and the computer will show no virus, How ever when I go to do a spyware scan right after I did a avg , scan say with malwarebytes then when the maleware bytes deyects something the avg will pop up saying I have a virus, How come the avg did not detect it with ots own scan instead of using a scan frm another software ?
No AV product is capable of providing you with 100% protection although AVG are always working 24/7.
Have a look @ these 2 articles..

Also in order to analyze your issue please provide AVG experts with GMER (http://kb.avg.com/articles/en_US/How_to/GMER-Scan-Result/) and AVG scan results (http://kb.avg.com/articles/en_US/How_to/AVG-scan-result-export/).
Scan probably didn't detected because it has different settings than Resident shield, you can change it in Advanced settings.
Thanks
