A routine scan reported 2 threats found on my HTC 10. SmartSearch and SmithLite have been classified as Malware but are system apps and can't be deleted. I could not find any information on these as threats and no other security software found anything wrong. But I reset to factory settings to be safe. Unfortunately a scan after the reset still marks those as Malware. This leads me to believe the scan is marking them as a false positive but would like to confirm. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I changed sim card when I returned back home. I appears my Anti Theft app kicked in and it required a logon passworld. I think after a couple of unsuccessful attempts my phone has been locked and I cannot even enter a password should l receive it again.

Desparately need to reconnect with my phone.  I did try and phone AVG but did not have much luck. Hopefully this will work and my problem will be solved soon.

Thanaks

My alarm used to allow for a few snoozes and then require a bar code scan to turn off. In the last few weeks, though, the alarm immediately says "Max snoozes have been exceeded," although no snoozes were ever allowed. (This alarm should allow five snoozes.) I've tried deleting the alarm and creating a new one, but this behavior persists. I need my snoozes back! Any suggestions?

Hello E,

I understand the inconvenience.
This shouldn't happen with AVG.
Let us check the status by reinstalling the app.
You can uninstall Alarm Clock Xtreme in Google Play. Follow these steps:
Open Google Play from the apps screen of your device and search for Alarm Clock Xtreme.
Tap Alarm Clock Xtreme to open the app information page.
Tap Uninstall, then tap OK to confirm the uninstallation.

I changed my SIM card and the AVG app locked my phone.  I got an email with login instructions saying I could login with my gmail account but when I do it says:  "Different devices are registered under your AVG MyAccount.
Please logout and log in again using AVG MyAccount"

But when I try to login using AVG MyAccount  (using the email I got the AVG email at)  it does not work.   I tried asking for a password reset but I never get a reset email.

Please help, I have no phone service :(

I purchased the AVG Ultimate for all of my devices.  I uploaded the App from the Playstore and I see where it is downloading. The download states it is complete.  I cannot open the file.

Where do I go from here?
