avg

I have read the newsgroups for several years now and have recommended and
installed AVG on numerous machines without error. Recently I suggested that
a friend download it to his XP machine and he said that it caused his
machine to crash (no further info).
Recently my copy of mcaffee started to play up and I decided to download AVG
for myself, and you guessed it my machine gave BSOD at startup.
It seems to be the AVG Core program that is giving the problems, and I
currently have it disabled from loading in msconfig.

Can you shed any light on my problem.

My machine is running Win ME

BSOD info is:-

OE @ 0028: c000e8be in vxd vmm (01)+ 0000d8be called from 0028:c004ad2f in
VxD VFAT (01)+

Several such screens appear at boot up when the AVG core program is trying
to load.

My machine at work is also Win ME and has no problems with AVG.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

My guess is that you didn't get all of the McAfee shudder stuff out of
your machine before you installed AVG. I have put AVG on a number of XP
machines and they all worked just fine.

Download the AVG again, just to make sure you have a good dl'd and do the
installation from the Safe Mode.......
After disposing of McAfee from my machine, through normal uninstall, I still
had tons of detritus throughout......some of which caused problems with Win
Me. Norton was just as bad, even after proper uninstall, there were tons of
files and reg entries that had to be manually cleaned out.

further to Heirloom's response, one of the major reasons that ANY anti-virus
will fail on install/first boot is that the system is already
compromised.......

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC
http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.


download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to
remove spyware, adware,
and other such nasties from your system.

Thanks for the back up, Noel.......I really should have mentioned that.

Good to see you've reverted back to adding your 'footnotes', HL - after
being hijacked recently g. (I suppose imitation being the sincerest form
of flattery). I always looked forward to them as they keep these pages from
becoming too serious - and it was often useful to know when you were about
to eat or go to bed, etc.

LOL, and thanks. Now that I have both eyes again, it will be easier. I had
no idea this was such a novelty for so many......glad to oblige.

Interesting. I installed XP yesterday and had a similar avg problem.

At first I had some troublesome messages during the install itself.
(e.e. when I finished installation, Windows said there was a critical
driver problem and the recommendation was to revert to a previous
version on the faulty driver -- although it didn't specify which
driver was at fault. Oh well.

I then installed AVG (after installing System Safety Monitor, Kerio
Personal Firewall, Spybot S & D) and then my system became unstable
and my intenet connection suddenly slowed down by about 75%.

I did find this btw:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=320324

My plan is to reinstall windows xp. And then I'm probably going to use
Norton anti-virus instead. Do you know if a combination of System
Safety Monitor, Kerio Personal Firewall, Spybot S & D and Norton works
on XP? Do know if there's a list somewhere of software that doesn't
destabilize XP so I know what's safe to use?

I don't want to have to reinstall xp every day *sigh*

Thanks,

Chris

Cheers, Joan - Yes I spotted your comments, a while after I had posted mine.

So are we starting an Heirloom fan club then? You and Figgs as
cheer-leaders? The mind boggles. A compilation of his 'one-liners' could
become a best seller.

LOL!! Not a bad idea.....but I guess some of them might be lost on new
people to these groups.

Hey Joan......have you dug out your pompoms and cheerleading outfit yet??
The mind boggles.......lol.
