I installed the free version and it shows the icon in my task bar. Is it providing continuous real time antiviral protection? Or is the icon just sitting there?
Thx,

Yes, it should be providing active protection if you didn't turn it off.

I can't figure out if it is actively providing protection. It did update automatically when I powered up but what if accidentally download a bug? Do I need to manually scan it, or will AVG just recognize it automatically.
Thanks again, -
and here's a review talking about it's real time protection:

Try opening AVG. Then go to the Control Center. Once there you should see something called Resident Shield, Email Scanner, and some other stuff. As long as the real-time protection is on, you're protected. -
Thx Jin, appreciate it.
