AVG Boot-up Scanner
Can anyone tell me why the AVG Boot-up scanner shuts down my machine before
Windows finishes loading? The AVG Boot-up scanner is an MS-DOS program which runs from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The boot-up scanner seems to run fine. But after it's finished running, instead of continuing to load Windows, it shuts down the machine. The next time I restart my machine, I get the message that Windows did not finish loading on the last start-up and I have the option of running in Safe Mode. I never choose Safe Mode, however. I always choose Normal, and the AVG Boot-up scanner runs again, but this time, Windows loads and my machine does not shut down before it is finished loading. This is very strange behavior and the only way to solve the problem is to disable the boot-up scanner (which is what I've done for now). Does anyone else use AVG and the boot-up scanner with Windows 98 SE? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. -- Dan |

Have you run the step-by-step bootup option to confirm that is the AVG
program and not the next program in the sequence that is causing the shut down? Anyway, having AVG not check the boot sector for viruses is not a major risk, unless you boot with an unknown disk.
