If the Windows Security Center is complaining about finding no
anti-virus protection at all, then maybe it just doesn't recognize AVG
and you need to tell it to not monitor anti-virus protection.

Then I agree with the other posters' replies: uninstall AVG, reboot,
then reinstall AVG.

Stupid

Do you want me to continually unistall and and reinstall. I woul
rather shoot myself. Every time I update Windows I will be wondering i
its an update or something that is turning windows security wonky. Th
problem is in Vista, not avg. I have yet to find a good answer, othe
than switching to Avast. Sounds like a conspiracy to me
