Well dudes ... i think i have the best answer for you in order to see by your self (with no risk) if this AVGIDSAgent.exe is part of real AVG or not...
[without to download any crap that the most -pay- site tell you to try... they first try to say its free ... then your run their program and the says : Register... Dear God..!!!]
-- the main point is to open your Task Manager
then go to File
then New Task (run) and open it
In there type mscofig
and hit enter
A new window comes up named System Configuration
Go to Services window Unchech the AVGIDSAgent
Then go to Start Up Window ... if you see it in there too ... Uncheck it too!
So hit enter ... All you do is to make your Pc to start (when you reboot it - anytime you like-) without the AVGIDSAgent ....
So go restart your PC
When windows open go again to Task Manager
If you NOT see the AVGIDSAgent ... it was an OK program from AVG
If you still see it ... then call an expert ... because its Virus named AVGIDSAgent or it has change the real (innocent) file AVGIDSAgent to virus!!!
***If you do all that and you don't see the AVGIDSAgent in task manager , and you do have AVG on , then the AVG will ask you (by it self) to restart it (if you like)
-------------------------------------------------
Another Way (SHORTER) is (if you have AVG) open your AVG program and go to Identity Protection (go in there) if protection is Active - Detective!
If you go again to your Task Manager and AVGIDSAgent is still ON ... Then call an expert
That means that the AVGIDSAgent that still ON is not from AVG ,, but from VIRUS...
Thank You ... I hope you get a solution
