5) In the Scan Results window you will see your past scans listed, newer to older from the top to the bottom.
6)
  a)   Make sure the last scan is GREEN in color- This means nothing was detected.
  b)   You may see BLUE scan icons as well, these are scans that found cookies which can be low end security issues but really not that bad.  Double click on the scan and hit the "Remove all unhealed infections" button to make sure AVG removed them-chances are it did.
  c)   If you see a RED scan icon you have or had viruses (chances are AVG removed them).  As in the BLUE icon, double click to open and hit the "Remove all unhealed infections" button to make sure AVG removed them.  If the newer scans are BLUE or GREEN that means AVG removed them.  If all your newer scans are RED you are infected- contact me to set up an appointment.
