I have AVG Free antivirus installed on my computer, When it finds a virus some it will heal and others go to the Vault. If I delete the ones in the Vault wil my computer stop working? Will it take away some files if I delete the viruses?

I deleted the ones that my AVG found and there was no noticeable effect. http://forums.techguy.org/malware-re...i-keep-my.html

Hi in addition to the above..any virus that is found will be contained in some file,program,application etc.
You could always leave them in the vault for some time until you feel all of your programs etc are running Ok.
Or check where it says the virus is contained.
That said after about a month I remove anything contained in the vault and have noticed no problems in doing so.

My new cpu arrived with AVG pre-installed. But I prefer Sygate, which I had on my old cpu. Would lit harm my system if I installed Sygate and kept AVG, or must I dump AVG. The advantage of Sygate is used to tell me each time something tried to invade; even those thrice-hourly AOL 'updates' that seem to do nothing at all to improve functionality.

I should also like to reinstall Avast, if that won't clash with AVG.

Hi Avast and Avg will clash as they may be trying to read the same files.
Both good programs..choose one remove the other.
Sygate is a Firewall so you will need that installed.

Hi sarmadkhan.
avgmfx86.sys relates to the real-time monitering and may not have installed correctly.
Try a reinstall.

On a side note, I wouldn't use AVG. I use Avast! myself as it is a much better program than AVG.
