Hmm, I wonder what was annoying for you. It updates periodically throughout
the day, which kind of gets annoying when I am in the middle of typing, but
I'm glad that it is updating. I have it set to do a scan once a week (you
can set it for more if you like). I didn't find AVG to be very good. I had a
virus and it did nothing and ended up having to reformat. I got a virus with
Trend and it took care of it right away.

Out of curiosity Vickie, do you still dabble in the business of long
distance phone coverages?
