Coreper Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 i have been using AVG for a whil now, and noticed that it kept minimizing my windows because it updateseven if i uncheck: "Display information about the update process", it keeps doing thatis there a way, and not shutting AVG down, to keep the update process from minimizing my windows?btw:it minimizes windows because it takes away the "focus", it makes windows focus on its update window, but that isnt there [?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 You could put the spot in Update at computer restart, unless you always leave your computer on, this way it will install the updates when you start up and any new updates will not be installed till your next reboot.

Coreper Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 ok, i tried, but it didnt workit still minimizes my windows...any other ideas?maybe disabling Update could work, but how do i do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 maybe disabling Update could work, but how do i do that?The free edition only has manual updates. Personally I much prefer manual updates even for Windows XP itself. Automatic updates always seem to kick in just when I'm doing something tricky - sods law, I suppose. In fact I don't have a single automatic update on any of my programs or utilities. Also when they start they have a noticeable slowing effect on other programs. Which is what you'd expect since Windows runs serially, not in parallel: programs "running in the background" must take resources from other programs. B) Also, something keeps minimizing my windows as well from time to time and I can't figure out what it is. I thought it was CCleaner re-setting some settings.

Coreper Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 @Dencandy:ehmAVG Free does have Auto-update@rong:i dont have the update scheduled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 @Dencandy:ehmAVG Free does have Auto-updateQuite right Coreper. I forgot I had dissabled it. Did you sort this yet? Maybe you installation is corrupt, so you could try uninstalling & reinstalling. Also check the old AV has been completely eliminated from your system. Also check that Windows Security Centre is running OK. Let us know what happens. You might have to give it up and try another free AV like Avast or AntiVir, both of which are highly regarded.

Dencandy Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 AVG have a users forum. You'll find the link on their website. Apart from that I can't give any more advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
