Usually I will have something to tell him, but I don't know what to say.... So my dad downloaded the windows 10 upgrade on his computer, and when he downloaded it his avg antivirus started going nuts detecting viruses, and he couldn't use internet or anything, my conclusion is that the antivirus is to old and outdated that it detects this software change it has never seen as a virus and is trying to delete the files it believes to be corrupted, which in reality are important files which in turn **** up his windows, he uninstalled avg and was still having the problem(I think because his avg's auto delete virus files deleted important files), now he is going around my house telling my mom and brother not to download windows 10, that its a hack, is there anything this community could say to help me figure out what he did or is wrong....

Well what I can tell you to tell him, is that he should do a full system clean. swipe the whole computer and all the Windows 10 files should be there when he reboots it. AVG as far as I know has not updated itself.

That's weird though, because I upgraded to Windows 10 for a bit and there was no virus problem. I switched back because I felt it was WAAAAAAAAAY too unstable.

I don't know, I'm not there but give that idea a thought maybe.

I mean I told him before he updated that windows 10 was a problem child so download it at your own risk, and he did it anyways, I think he ended up dumping his computer and installing windows 8....

Don't ask me, me I hate avg, it is shit, he likes it though, so my word doesn't matter, and he wont listen to me, with what I have to say so he is just going with his own word at the moment and downloading windows 8 instead, I was hoping would have some tech guru technical shit to tell him that would make him go wow, alright that may be it, since I cant get to him....

You should be able to go into command prompt and do this command - sfc /scannow

That will check to see if there are any important Windows files that are corrupted.

What issues are you having?

I think its all good now, he is going to listen to me and reinstall it without avg, so he should be good.
