I don't use AVG Free Edition anymore, but from the instruction manuals
I read at grisoft.com it appears version 7 has more functionality. Just
wondering if it slows down computers a bit more now. Are there more AVG
items listed in MSCONFIG now? >> Stay informed about: AVG 7 free edition is here! |

The new AVG 7 is very much like the professional version 7 that I paid
for for work. In fact, it has one better feature where you can have
it automatically check the internet for updates when you use manual
update and you do not have to choose "internet" each time.
It is very nice for free.

Can anybody report good or bad experience using AVG7 on Windows 98?
In particular, does AVG still have a small footprint?
Background: I'm a long-time McAfee user, but it gets more and more bloated.
Since I'll be out of updates, I'm considering switching to AVG.
One more question: can AVG back out an update if the update causes trouble?
(Inability of McAfee to do this is another reason I'd switch. Occasionally,
a McAfee update caused me trouble.) >> Stay informed about: AVG 7 free edition is here! |

I looked on the AVG free forum and there is an issue related to Roxio
software. I think some people solved it by disabling or removing the Roxio
software.
Your symptoms weren't matched exactly, but some other people are having
similar problems. The best general suggestion seems to be to press F8 when
you restart your computer to get to the long list of startup options. Then
choose the one which restores your last good registry. I don't remember the
details offhand, but that's probably the way. Maybe someone else can fill in
the details.
Another possibly useful suggestion, when/if you are able to access your
registry, and if you still have problems: Set the following value to repair
the AVG installation using AVG setup, then reboot:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cdudf_xp]
"Start"=dword:00000004

Pressing F8 should give a list of many options. Do you see the long list of
options? Safe mode is only one of them - there are other options.

I adopted AVG several years ago after frequent problems with McAfee
updates locking up the computers during installation. I have never had
any problems of any sort using AVG on five different machines ranging
from Win 98 to XP. That's no guarantee, but it's a testimonial.

Boot with the installation CD if possible, and run the recovery console. >> Stay informed about: AVG 7 free edition is here! |
