    I've attached a screenshot of an AVG Update in progress. There's red boxes around the questionable values; is it normal to see negative numbers here? I have updated AVG dozens of times (maybe hundreds) on many, many PCs and have never seen this before... is it something to worry about?
    Thanks.

    BTW- AVG updates normally and seems to be running perfectly, and the PC has no other issues at all....

    I've been using AVG for years and have never seen this one either.

    It's not normal but I have seen a negative time. I'm not sure about a negative speed though.

    Its just a graphical annomaly, negative numbers here would mean your download speed was uploading and the time left was in the past.

    By the way, I used AVG for over 5 years and about 6 months ago when it started targeting clean files on my PC as having trojans in them, and my comments about Grisofts possible reasons for doing it got my posts on their forum deleted, I got fed up and switched to another AV. As far as I'm concerned I do not want a company like Grisoft to have access to my PC. A word to the wise, switch to Avast or Bitdefender 10 free, or be sure you check your quarantine often and double check files AVG quarantines with A-Squared or Trojan Remover or an online scanner and you will see a pattern develop about which files Grisoft decides to target.

    I trusted them with full access to my system for years, now I wouldn't accept an e-mail from them on a bet.
