Re: OT: Looking 4 New Anti Virus Software
 

I regret to say that it was not the new Nvidia drivers that caused my PC to crash upon restart, but unfortunetly it was AVG. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif After hours of troubleshooting, I finally decided to try and remove AVG to see if my PC would boot. Once removed, via safe mode, the PC booted. I restarted the PC many times to ensure that it was properly working before reinstalling AVG. Once reinstalled the PC began to crash again upon restart. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif I guess AVG does not like HP/XP/AMD computers. Looks like I am going to have to buy Nortan 2006. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif:(:(

Never buy a Norton AV product... Better to have none than Norton AV personal edition.

Have you looked on the AVG support forums for solutions?

Failing that, try Avast, as mentioned earlier.

Re: OT: Looking 4 New Anti Virus Software
 

I wouldn't say that Norton was useless, just not preferable. In my past experience it always did its job well.

Re: OT: Looking 4 New Anti Virus Software
 

As Fyron says, you should visit the forums and ask for help. It's likely a config problem in Windows XP that they can tell you how to fix. Or it might be something particular to HP computers, but even that could still be fixable.

Something really is rotten in Denmark...

I've been using WinXP for a long time with AVG, and never had the slightest issue with it. Even my e-mail scanner works from day one.

I wonder if the issue might be a compatibility issue with Nvidia. Doesn't seem likely, but who knows?

Seriously, it's better to install some virus instead. And it's free!

Check if your d/l is corrupted (redownload), check forums or try avast - as lots of people already suggested.

Re: OT: Looking 4 New Anti Virus Software
 

Another thing to consider is possibility that your AVG has conflict with some other program in memory. Make 100% sure you got rid of Norton completely. Just uninstalling it normally wont usually be enough. Check norton web page to find tool to remove it completely (or just google it). It's possible that some trace of norton still loads up in memory and disrupts AVG's normal operation.

Re: OT: Looking 4 New Anti Virus Software
 

If it does have a conflict, I will bet it is with the crap left over after the Nortan uninstall. That is the jist I am gleaming from AVG posts.

Nortan, use our product or use NO product.... there ought to be a law that protects consumers from malicious back stabbing bull [censored] like this.

*gives AT a second o for his Norton*

See Kwok, Norton AV Personal is a virus/rootkit itself!

Re: OT: Looking 4 New Anti Virus Software
 

I never said that it wasn't inefficient and bloaty, I just said it does work. And I did warn AT about getting the complete removal tool for uninstalling as well - so naa. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
