Task Manager should be available by right-clicking your taskbar and selecting Task Manager. The window that comes up will have a number of tabs. The first (Applications) shows the applications currently running that show on your taskbar. The second (Processes) shows the processes running. Look in this tab for processes that appear to be associated with AVG (they may read avg.exe or some such). If you have clear understanding of the association you can click on it then click the button [End Process]. But DON’T do that if your unsure.
Another thing would be to go to [Start] [Run] then type in “mscconfig” in the window bar. That will bring up an application that lists the various processes and *.ini files loaded with Windows. The Services and Startup tabs are the ones to look at for processes aligned with AVG.
Have fun, but BE CAREFUL!
Thank you. I had Kodak update running. I ended the task. That's all I was brave enough to tinker with.
I'm reading the task manager help file now. There's a lot of info there that I wasn't aware even existed. I'm the kind of computer user who turns it on and wants it to work - not know how it works. Guess I better change my ways. lol
