Info regarding AVG version 2012
Please read this in it's entirety before beginning.
AVG is STILL FREE.
It is available at http://free.avg.com .However, most people accidentally
download the Free Trial, instead of the Free Version. If you do that, it
will constantly nag you to register. So, here's what to do:
Download the free version 2012 from our ftp server:
Click here ===>
http://75.148.207.244/ftp/avg_free_2012.exe
SAVE this file to your
desktop. Once you have downloaded the file, you should exit from your
browser. Be sure that you can find the downloaded file on your desktop
or wherever you saved it..
Double click it to begin installation of the new version. Follow the
instructions, noting the exceptions below.
NOTES:
The initial welcome screen will appear. Click the Accept
option. A screen will ask you to select your product. Put a dot in the
"Basic Protection" option, and click next.
A screen will ask you to select your type of installation. Put a dot in
the "Quick Install" option, then remove the check in the gadget
box on this screen. Click next.
A screen will ask about the "AVG Security Toolbar". Remove the checks
from both of the option boxes.
AVG will now download the appropriate version. When complete. you will see a screen
saying that the "Installation was successful". Remove the checkmarks from
both of the boxes, and and click
finish (You should NOT put your info in the open fields). AVG will now
attempt to update itself. This may take a few minutes. We now need
to setup the time for the automatic scan. Start AVG, click on Tools,
click on Advanced settings. On the left pane, click the plus on
Schedules. This will expand an option branch. Now highlight Scheduled
scan. Now in the right pane, modify the settings to scan "Every day",
and set the time to 1:00 AM. Put a checkmark in the box at the top that
says "Enable this task". Also be sure to remove the checkmark from the
box that says "Run on computer startup...".

CLEANUP UTILITY
For cleaning up junk files and the registry, we use the free
version of CCleaner.

defaults UNTIL you reach the screen for Install Options (about 4 to 5
screens in). Here, we suggest that you UN-CHECK all 5 options below the
top one. IE- We only want to check the option for "Add Desktop
Shortcut". You may then continue the installation using the rest of the
defaults.
