avg problem

i had to uninstall it it put 2 of my games as threats.

I had the same trouble, I installed a few games from GOG and I got a warning but I just ignored AVG.

You should not remove AVG because it is way more important than the games. You should add the games to the "Exception" list in AVG so they are ignored but before you do that you should right click on the game and select "scan with avg shell" to make sure the game is virus free.

okay i will; reinstall, but it said the first dracula resurrerction was a threat and something else, okay i will do that and how do i put those 2 games on the trusted list.

1) For instructions:options-help-configuring-advanced settings-exceptions
2) To do:options-advanced settings-exceptions

it is a disk i brought dreamcatcher, along time ago, before they became the adventure company, never mind i just going uninstall it.

Draclvr got Dracula Resurrection to run in both Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Check the "Windows 7 and Games" and "Windows 8 and Games" threads.

Obviously the game is not a virus and AVG gave a false positive. If you don't tell AVG to allow the Dracula game, AVG will delete or quarantine parts of the game and it will not be able to run.

i was able to put it in the firewall settings to allow, but i can't believe they would do that it was a disk.

Firewall? Dracula Resurrection doesn't need a connection to the internet to install. That's strange.

i install; it and went into avg to allow it to run, there is a add button name advance in option, it was blocking it, giving it false postive virus.

AVG seems to call it "Resident Shield Detection"

It's not a "firewall."
A "firewall" keeps information from entering or exiting your computer from the Internet.
The "Resident Shield" watches over what's going on on your computer -- and blocks it if it think's the activity is "unusual."

okay thank you very much, but avg is a pest sometimes, for giving it a false postive virus and some of the other games.

OK... that explains it.

i am scare to scan i am afraid another of my games will be false postive virus.

Another way to do it is when you want to play a game,turn off the internet,(you don't need it for these games anyway),then disable AVg for a time period that will get you through your gameplay.

AVG gave me a lot of false positives. That's why I uninstalled it and have been using Avast ever since.

where can i install avast antivirus.

It is a free antivirus program you would install on your computer - after you uninstall AVG, of course.

i found t and install the pro i might uninstall it if it gives me problems.

You will have to pay for the Pro version... if you wanted the free one, that's different.

okay i just going to go without avg mess with my game and avast had alot of stuff i didn't want i just wanted a antivirus.

Dear heavens... you can't go with an antivirus program. If this is your Windows 8 computer, please just reactivate your Windows Defender anti-virus so you at least have something. You will get infected if you don't. Didn't you just get your computer back after having it cleaned? Just do a search for Defender and get it going again. That's the free one that comes on Windows 8.

okay i wiill do that, but avg messed with cake maina lights action camera, avast came with driver update and a lot of tools.

Avast does not come with any of those things. The only thing it offers at the time of installation is Dropbox. You did not download it from the manufacturer's website. Now you will have to find all that other stuff and uninstall it too.

it was dropbox and i uninstall it. thank you guys very much.

What about Driver Update and all the tools you mentioned? They should also be uninstalled.

everything is uninstall i check both program files even the uninstall program list.

Is Defender running?

yes it is scaning right now.

How do you disable Defender? I'm running Avast and Defender and I guess I shouldn't have both running.

Unless you have Windows 8 or 8.1, there is no problem because Defender for Windows 7 and earlier is not an antivirus.

Here are a couple of ways to disable Defender in Windows 8
