Avg Uninstalling....worried!

Romey

I want to uninstall AVG and just have BD on my comp. But i have ALOT of viruses, spyware, KEYLOGGERS such as Smitfraud, and other malware in my virus vault, i am worried that if i uninstall it they will be let loose again, and if they do, will BD find them? especially Smitfraud.

I only bought BD about 2 hours ago so bare with me

Thanks!

Oh, and i read through the AVG installation guide and it says to include the deletion of the virus vault but surely that will let them loose.

thanks

Hello Romey,

All the infections that are kept in AVG virus fault can't cause any harm because they are encrypted or are being stored in password protected archives so they can't run except when you release them manually from the virus vault. Some infections need other tools beside an antivirus including BitDefender to be properly removed.

Best regards
