from my research AVG only downloads antivirus files onto your computer to protect your computer form spyware, viruses, and any other thing that might harm your computer.

What is the process of uploading avg?

It should update automatically when correctly configured. If you need to perform a manual update first you will need to get the latest update files from the AVG Free website at the AVG Free Update Files The Priority updates contain the full virus database. The Recommended updates include the database and new program updates. The Optional updates include those plus additional files that may be of help. Choose the one that applies to your system, if in doubt, get the recommended or the optional update file and download the file to a directory on your computer that you can find later. You must remember where this is because you will have to tell AVG where to find these files later. After you have the files, 1. Verify and update your computer's time and date, AVG uses this info to determine if you have the correct files. 2. Open the Control Center, 3. Double Click on the Update Manager or select it then press the Properties button at the bottom of the screen. 4. On the Properties screen unselect the option labeled "Do not ask for the update source", click Apply and Ok. 5. Now click the Update button on the bottom of the screen. 6. In the pop-up window, click the Folder button. 7. Navigate to the folder where you had downloaded the update files into and click Ok. 8. AVG will update now with the file you had selected unless it contains the same as you already had. That should be all you need to have updated your system. Note: Manual update is generally not recommended as it requires that you download the big full-update file. We strongly recommend to use the automatic update if at all possible as it downloads only the differential update file that is typically rather small (1/10th or less of the full update).


Does dialer 17h originate from AVG?

I don't think it originates from AVG, as this was the program I used to rid my computer of this particular dialer, (though lord knows where I picked it up from). I would reccomend, if you can't get the computer to download the new update file(s), to download them using another copy of AVG on another computer, then transfer the correct files across on Pen Drive, or by some other form of removable media

How do you remove Trojan horse Downloader Istbar 4 H?

Istbat.4.H is identified as a Trojan by AVG as of mid-October, possibly earlier. Istbat.4.H hides in System Restore, so turn it off before you scan to facilitate removal of the infected files. I had to run Spybot, download AVG from Grisoft, perform an update to AVG, then reboot into safe mode and run a full system scan. I also ran Ad Aware on another system before it was clean enough to allow antivirus updates and spyware updates. After removal, reboot and run AVG again, just to be sure. I ended up manually deleting a couple of files that AVG couldn't. Run a Windows Update afterwards to patch up vulnerabilities that allow Istbar to operate.
