There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

Any way to shut down AVG Free completely?
Hi,

Sometimes I would like to shut down AVG for a period of time which runs even when Firefox isn't open - but I only seem able to shut down the tray icon - that's all. I have tried killing the main process in Task Manager but that doesn't seem to work.

There doesn't seem a particularly easy way of doing this - unlike with Zone Alarm Free.


Thank you

You could get something that you really should have anyways and that is WinPatrol. then you can kill AVG.
Features: WinPatrol FREE and WinPatrol PLUS
