HOW TO DISABLE AVG FREE (TEMPORARILY)

"The Resident Shield is the main component protecting you from viruses. It scans accessed files and if a virus is found, the access to the file is blocked. This applies to executing infected programs, as well as to opening of infected documents or any other files.

Disabling of the Resident Shield is sometimes recommended before installation of a new software or drivers, since it can prevent conflicts that would otherwise occur during their installation. This however applies only to limited number of specific programs and drivers, and there is no general reason why AVG Resident Shield should interfere with an installation of any application.

To disable the Resident Shield, please:
1. Open AVG User Interface.
2. Double-click on the Resident Shield.
3. Un-tick the option Resident Shield active.
4. Save the changes.

Please do not forget to activate the Resident Shield again once you performed the tasks requiring its deactivation."

If get an email from an unknown sender and it looks fishy, try Google searching some lines of the message. If you're like me and replied to a ton of job postings, the source of these spam messages are damn near impossible to track down. That is unless the subject line was in the suspected spam email and you printed a pdf copy of the ad - Aha! Although the lure of a potential job may be tempting, be aware that some people (try to) make a living from scamming and spamming you!

Here's a message I got today from some random internet guy telling me about a job opportunity:

If you Google search that last bit: "Get back to me with your total cost for the service I await your urgent response" you'll find several websites with people asking if they just got a SPAM message. When in doubt, Google it!
