Or it could be an indication that you haven't had any attacks. How many threats does the AVG log say it intercepted, that would be the true measure. And of those, how many of them would Windows Defender not have caught?

As someone whose whole career was troubleshooting IT faults I find this an interesting problem. However, I've just bought a new Windows 11 laptop and there is no way I'm going to let AVG anywhere near it to do more testing. Take a look at Wikipedia to see some of the previous issues AVG has caused.
I really do appreciate all the thought and comments that have gone into this little AVG tmimage anomally, but that is all it is in terms of my AVG package which is VPN, anti virus, driver updater and tune up it's ok for us for the time being.

The fruit phone is ok for posting photographs so it makes no real difference to me.

We get regular reports on tracking and threats sometimes requiring a restart.

Interestingly Windows Defender also reports regularly that all is well so stay put until AVG subscriptions have run their course. Having spent a working life in electronics engineering you go with proven equipment and 23 years is ok with us.

I'll read the Wiki later, thanks Ian
