Polonus,
I wish that were the issue, however I only installed Avast after I had a run-in with AVG over removal of the virus. It had already been detected by them before I installed Avast but, long story short, their poor customer service is what pushed me to installing Avast after I read customer reviews of the software. So, at that point I didn’t have Avast on my laptop. Currently, I do not have Avast on my main PC. Only AVG. So, there can’t be a conflict. However - You DO make a good point about the McAfee. I did install that McAfee security scan plus a few weeks back…but now it is not showing up. When I search for it, it says that it has been changed or moved. Could this be the source of my woes here?
