Maybe you should try AVAST. I have it working without problems on my system
(Vista Ultimate). On another Vista system I have AVG Free and haven't come
across the issue you reported.

Did you do a clean install of Vista or was it an upgrade? What antivirus
solution did you use previously?

AVG has been working fine for me. Did you download/install the latest
version?

PMSL! This is the exact advice Kevin was giving out when he was still
running vista before he got on his Server 2008 kick! I guess he
succeeded in teaching you something after all! LOL.

This was after "Updating" or were you installing from scratch?

Either way, uninstall AVG, delete the Grisoft folder from Program Files and
re-install using the latest version from http://free.grisoft.com

Might have to run As Administrator, though I installed AVS recently and had
no problems.

You could try Avast too, I've heard it's pretty good.

-A.

there was a MAJOR update recently released.
you might want to try downloading a new copy and give it a try.

Avast is the best on the Net. It runs rings around the paid for ones like
Norton, etc.
I was using it for a few years on XP; put vista and Avast on another comp,
total compatibility.

I'd have to disagree, when AVG released their Vista compatible free
version Avast was gone in an INSTANT! replaced with AVG.

Everything runs rings around Norton, McAfee, etc but there are very
good paid for AVs.
