Hi Everyone,

I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2.

I have being using AVG Free Edition 7.5 and all of a sudden, it commits suicide.
It stops working. First, my e-mail scanner breaks. I ignored the error and told AVG to SHUT UP AND WORK!!!

Sorry about the ALL CAPS.

So now I update it. Finds a priority update and, you know, it dies once more.
Smiling at it , I just locate the setup.exe file for AVG, and, sigh, I need an installation PACKAGE.

I don't want to go to the trouble to watch the 18 MB file crawl through my Internet connection - I don't dare.

I'll be glad when this s*** stops so I can sit back and relax when using my computer.

Is there ANOTHER solution for this problem?

Do I need to bite the bullet (ouch) and download AVG again, just to keep this junk box working?

Thank You in advance.


You on DIALUP? I share your pain but 18MBs will only take a couple of hours.
Save it in a safe place just in case it doesn't resolve your problem on the first install.Or have someone with a high speed connection scarf it for you and throw it on a flash drive...Well, actually, I am on Broadband BUT if I download something large, it slows right down. I once had it down to 30 Kbps because I downloaded all those stupid theme files.

But I will download the file. Thank you to everyone!Quote

This sounds like there are other issues...
Run disk clean and defrag.
Then run chkdsk /r as well.

Report back with the results.
How much free space is on this drive ? ?
