You can also select “Any content” and in this case, the contents of the exclusion folder can change at the user’s discretion.

Computer protection, Protection Email, Browsing protection, Identity Protection are responsible for protection components. Initially, they set the optimal parameters for effective fight against viruses. If you wish, you can add some parameters or, conversely, remove them.

Scans. Default AVG Antivirus Free provides one standard set of parameters for four types of scanning, and the user himself determines which of them will be used during the scan (Fig. 4.50).

Rice. 4.50. Scan Settings

The more parameters are involved, the more thorough the check, but such a scan will take much more time and resources. And vice versa, the fewer parameters selected, the faster will be tested, however, reliability will decrease. Please note: the developer has set optimal settings for each type of scan. The only thing you can add is to check the Enable removable device scanning checkbox in the Removable device scanning item. Considering how many computers are infected when using other people's unverified removable media information, it will be justified.

Shell extension scanning allows you to scan through the context menu.

In the Schedules group, you can set up a schedule according to which AVG Antivirus Free will scan your computer, update anti-virus databases and the program itself (Fig. 4.51).

Rice. 4.51. Scheduled Scan

Scheduling a scan is very easy. This operation consists of three steps based on three tabs:

Schedule - set the scan time;

Options - select scan options;

Location - determine what exactly you plan to check (disk, folder, file).

It's even easier with the update schedule. In the appropriate settings, activate (or deactivate) the task and specify the desired time.

AVG Antivirus Free may detect some files as unwanted and restrict access to them. To work properly with the necessary files in such cases, add them to Exceptions (Fig. 4.52).

Rice. 4.52. Exceptions

Virus storage is a place where all viruses detected on a computer are isolated. You can configure its size and possible actions with objects placed in it (Fig. 4.53).

P.S. If necessary, I can write in more detail in a PM (P.M.)

I had NOD32, I’m not complaining, now I’m not complaining at all either)))

I wrote in a PM =)

It happened that I had to cut off the Internet for 3 months. And I didn’t die... I don’t understand what’s wrong with that, well, you don’t have a cord sticking out of your computer. but there are 2 kidneys and they can be sold. In general, I drew, walked, took photographs, read. remained alive.

If your hair is greasy and you don’t have time to wash it, but urgently need to get it in order, you can rub a little flour into the roots, it will absorb the oiliness.
or wash only the bangs and comb the rest into a ponytail)

I think this issue is at least 5 years old :)

the answer is as long as there is demand for it

cannot be disabled/enabled temporarily
there are 2 options - either terminate/conclude the contract, for this you need to write an application either on the website or in the customer service center
naturally, if you didn’t unscrew the plugs yourself
or negotiate the payment - for example, you can set the leveled payment to 0.00€ per month and pay nothing until you start using electricity. Naturally, having previously contacted and agreed on payment.
all this can be done by phone, but the person for whom the contract is concluded must call.
or take readings, but if there is no consumption, it’s a chore
p.s. I work at Latvenergo.
