How much do you like Full Antivirus Scanning of your PC

you can try avast antivirus guys. It doesn't eat your ram memory and has effective way to kill all viruses, or maybe you can also try to use vipre or eset node antivirus, the small size antivirus ever. have a nive day

Sorry to hear about your computer problems. The AVG seems to be very problematic and I do not like it. I found that most so-called sophisticated anti-viruses programs can result in computer problems. I finally resorted to simple Anti-Malware and the CCleaner, and often use Stagepage.com for searches and most freezes and delays are resolved. On the other hand, if you are opinionated and of the habit of expressing controversial views, then be informed that there are operating systems, search engines and browsers that are recruited by some governments to prevent posting by freezing and forced-shutting your computer.

program your anti virus to do a full scan once a week while you are away or at lunch or out somewhere as it slows down most computers a lot but just once a week and done when you are out it will not drive you batty with slow working computer.also my free anti virus watches all day every day for the slightest thing that looks like malware or a virus and nabs it then tells me and advises me to delete it or quarantine it.[

If that is necessary to scan the whole system, I won't mind to do so. But you said the antivirus software telling you that 4 hours needed to scan the whole system. that just too long, and why it should need that long to scan the whole system? I would suggest you find another antivirus that would speed up the process while you can free from the virus.

Oh I also find it very troublesome to perform full scanning of the computer system, I am using kaspersky. Although it is generally a very good anti virus software, it slows down my computer very much and I have to stop using my computer when performing the full scan. So what I usually do is to perform quick scan instead. I am not very familiar with the avg, but I think it probably have this kind of similar Function which is pretty much more convenient. I only do full scan before I have to do some money transaction or Internet banking. It is indeed very lazy approach in protecting my computer haha.

You don`t need to do a fool scan.Here is what you should do .When you defragment your hard drive make sure the Antivirus is started .If you have any viruses the antivirus will find them during defragmentation so you don`t need to scan your hard drive.And if you want to scan then scan only windows partition not the whole hard drive.Also scan the files you are downloading from internet

I am using Avira right now. I used to have Avast. I recommend either one of these, instead of AVG. I have nothing against AVG, I just find these two better. Avast offers the pre-boot scan which is really a cool feature, where it scans everything before you boot your OS. Well, I don't do a full PC scan now because some of my files contain false virus and could probably get deleted, and I feel lazy putting them on the ignore list. Anyway, good luck and hope you get your computer back alright.

I use Kaspersky internet SEcurity .It`s hard to find working keys , but sometimes i fond. My pc is working 24/7 and with KIS i don`t have any problems. My antivirus scanning my pc all day :)

Doing a Virus scan on my pc makes me feel better and sure that there is no virus on my pc...if you hate scanning your pc just keep live monitoring on just in case a bug from internet may crawl into your harddisk...but i recommend a safe scan ...
