Solve : windows xp avg anti virus? |
|
Answer» A newbie here, I would be grateful for any help you can offer. I am ALSO a complete novice (idiot?) with a computer. To cut a long story short I uninstalled avg anti virus planning to load an updated version. When I try to download the new version I get Win 32 application messages so presumably I'm trying to download the wrong version. In desperation I tried to download a microsoft programme that failed 4 hours into the download ( I have dial up). I am trying to install any FREE anti virus software that you would recommend. The computer is a 3 year old hewlett packard using windows xp. Having wasted half of my precious weekend on this I would be truly grateful for any help. Quote When I try to download the new version I get Win 32 application messagesnot valid Win32 application - is it what you're getting? At what point? During download, or installation? You're downloading from here: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/, right?Hi Broni and THANK you for your interest. I don't remember where I tried to download from except that it was some part of the grisoft site. So I have tried again using the site you mention. I get a file download security warning, do you want to run or save this file, I press save then get an instant download. Then I get an internet explorer security warning, publisher could not be verified are you sure you want to run this file. I press run and then get the w32 message. SORRY if all this seems rather infantile, probably INDICATIVE to you of my computer skills, still I suppose we are all experts in our own field so if you have any questions about guitar playing I'm your man! Thanks again for your help. Regards Peter. Quote still I suppose we are all experts in our own field so if you have any questions about guitar playing I'm your man! Any suggestions on playing the 'mu chord ? ? Did you check Add/Remove for AVG to see if there's anything left ? ? There are posts on the Grisoft Forums about some versions uninstalling stubbornly but your best bet would be to DLoad and run CCleaner which is free and should clean things out for you. After that; Next DLoad a fresh copy again from Broni's link but don't do anything but save it for now. Power down and disconnect your modem/router and re-boot. Then turn off any other protection programs you have including Windows firewall and Live One Care if you have it. Re-install AVG and re-boot. If all goes well re-enable the firewall and any other protection programs, power down and hook up your connection and re-boot. If this method doesn't solve it i would suggest posting a HijackThis log as some malware will prevent installing/updating some protection programs... Let us know. Quote still I suppose we are all experts in our own field so if you have any questions about guitar playing I'm your man!I always wanted to play some instrument, but I ended up playing with computers...hehehe. At least my kids play something. Follow patio's instructions, and on a side note: Quote do you want to run or save this fileYou NEVER, EVER "run", you ALWAYS "save", and if a web site may be questionable, after downloading ALWAYS run a file through antivirus check. Quote publisher could not be verifiedIt's regular M$ crap, so don't worry about it at all. |
