AVG Update Cripples Users' Windows 7, Vista Computers

Both my computers used AVG, but I didn't have any problems and the last update installed was from today. So either I'm just lucky of the news article makes things a bit stronger than they really are.

But nevertheless, thanks for sharing the information.

Cheers,

Aha...that explains it then. A relative of mine has been having a lot of hassle with her laptop over the past 2 days due to AVG. It was locking up her system and wouldn't uninstall fully,even in safe mode or using the avg removal tool. A re-install was necessary in the end.
 
Strange, I use AVG 9.0, updates automatically daily, scans automatically daily, yet
(tap wood), I have had no such problem?

Could it be just a few, it would seem with the majority of PC users that have Vista and 7, that there would be a lot more cases than reported. Me sees a stink bug in the works, think the same thing happened with Toyota, bad press because some competitors didn't like you stinking up their profits.

Caz, did ya read the fine print at the bottom >>>> there where a select few, like Caz's pooter that wasn't trashed....lol...Mike
 
I have AVG 2011 (Registered Version) and while it's not trashed ......... I think it's causing problems with opening files and on the internet , connections problems. I can't connect to Flight 1 to verify a program that I bought about a year ago and had to reinstall.
I'm about to remove AVG ..............:redfire:
 
I have AVG 2011 (free ) and although it tells me the database is out of date, it will not update either automatically or manually.

I have been using AVG for years but it looks like its time for a change.
