Hi

Recently I did a security scan at symantec and it said I had no detectable antivirus running. I have avg but I don't know if something is wrong with it or just if symantec could not detect it.

Is there some way I can check if it is running properly.

Thanks.

Well at least my copy of AVG successfully identified the test virus. I do worry that AVG never detects anything on my PC or in my e-mail. I suppose that's a good thing though. Very Happy
