When I installed AVG, I had all security turned on. When I looked at

avgcc.exe. I remember adding that in XP so decided to try in Vista. That
step is what finally gave no errors on running AVG.

I finally got AVG to run seamlessly with RC2 after struggling to get it
running smoothly since first installing it on beta 2 and everything in
between. I've had no problems installing but loading at startup was not
working.

I loaded RC2, then right-clicked on the AVG free exe file and selected "run
in XPsp2 compatibility" mode, right-clicked and "run as administrator".
After it was fully installed and updated, I still got a kernel interface
error at startup. I was able to manually load the resident after boot-up was
done.

I decided that windows firewall must be doing something to prevent AVG from
doing what it needed to do. I went to Windows Firewall and clicked on "allow
a program to access the internet". Then I clicked on "add program" and
browsed to program filesgrisoftavgfreeavgcc.exe. I can't believe it.
It's running smoothly even with UAC, Windows Defender, and Windows Firewall.
Unbelievable. This is the free version, not the beta that they have for
Vista.

This adventure can sure be flaky. On this pc, which is another install of
RC2, I didn't have to do anything extra. Avgcc.exe was already added in the
firewall along with avgamsvr.exe, avgemc.exe, and avginet.exe.

And on this pc, Thunderbird installed easily but won't on the RC1. I keep
getting error 87 and install freezes. Flaaaaaky.

agree betas are fun now (not) I have yet to boot my clena install of RC1
today as I really couldn't even send a bug report correctly something was
conflicting - perhaps AVG which would not et me even tweak the settings I
may be back to Trend install (not happy) but I know from Beta2 AVG didn't
like my computer setup even though it likes the XP side of the boot.

Strange how one beat fixes a lot for some but beaks bits for others. This is
the first one I have had problems with beta2 - RC1 was notably better RC1 -
RC2 installed fine but then after installing Office and AVG problems although
I had montior issues not seen in RC1 - puzzles

Hi,

Actually avg 7.5 is available in a free (final) version as well - though
there is a possible bug in its vista implimentation which can be solved by
installing it using compatability mode for xpSp2 on the installer. They say
it will be fixed in the next free edition as they already know what caused
it.

If you don't already know the bug is that the resident shield will not load
and run successfully acording to the tray program icon.

The free version can be found at ;

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5

Hope this helps.

Hi All,
I downloaded Avast version 4.7 Home Edition yesterday. This is fully
compatible with RC2 and appears to be working well.
