So, I downloaded AVG on my computer and got it onto the g-parents'. I successfully uninstalled their out of date AV and installed AVG. The problem is, I can't connect to the AVG server to update the definitions and when I try to scan, an error box would pop up and not allow it after about 10 seconds. Currently, I am running a scan in safe mode, but I don't really know what else to do. Any suggestions are extremely welcome. Thank you!
