I used to have a boot up scanner, but not anymore.
Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks

Turn it back on in the program's options.

Why do you need it? It is going to delay your boot time drastically. A
boot time scan is rarely necessary, unless you believe your computer to
be infected. Same goes for Inbound and Outbound email scanning; not
necessary. As long as the program is running in the background, it will
prevent you from executing a virus program. Or it should, if your
definitions are up-to-date, and the virus is old enough to be in the
database.

The boot up scanner only shows on pre XP OS...have you "upgraded" your
os?.If not some updates seem to render it inoperable.Perform a repair
of AVG by starting setup.exe again.

Got too many anti-virus apps set to run when windows atarts? eg, many
anti-virus just dont like to run if competing products are also set to
run 24/7.
