Win 10 and17.90.0401 AVG Anti Virus

Post by pat55 »

Today both M$ and AVG Anti Virus (Free ver) did not like XY update being installed.
I never send anything to such in that I believe it is a waste of my efforts.

I just felt a need to remind people that there is nothing fishy going on with XY.
As a rule - I honor any virus alarm from anybody - from Scotty to AVG etc.

But, this is the first time they have actually informed me of a finding. Perhaps this is a new (smart) policy at AVG (free version).
I sent nothing to them and then they just made a grab for it and then sent a popup hours later.
After I disabled AVG during the XY instal.

They just keep on going.
I now have the AVG config to ask me every time - could be worse.
Just installing XY with AVG turned off - does not work either.


XY uses the M$ Defrag routine I guess?
Today I just discovered that M$ has changed my defrag settings so the three SSDs were being defrag once per week.
THAT IS WRONG - any notion why this is? (I do have two additional HDs - which should not matter. We all know that you do NOT defrag SSDs!)
This is supposed to be handled by the Samsung Magisian.

Where does the defrag come from in XY?
It it better and if so - why.
