Default procedure question

To those who run AVG 7.5 I've got a procedure question.

After running the AVG updater, the process seems to stay loaded even after
clicking the 'OK' button after the update is successfully downloaded. Which
of the following should I perceive as the best way to manage this:

A. Leave the process running.

B. Kill the process with PView.

C. Reboot...,the one I've been doing.

Thanks.

Not sure if I understand your question. Doesn't AVG Control Centre run on
boot? If so why not leave it running in the background? (I understand it has
a small footprint) or do you mean the Update Window with the 30 second
countdown fails to close?

If the latter, can only suggest:

a. Reload AVG using the latest download.

b. Wait until the gurus can confirm if AVG is still compatible with ME
although http://www.grisoft.com/uk.product-av...e-edition#tba3 says it
is! (at least until August)

Best of luck

Ok, let me see if I can't explain it better. Ok, once the countdown window
appears the 30 seconds tick down and then the countdown ends and I'm left
with an 'OK' button. I click it and the window disappears. Now If I were
to open PView to see the list of processes currently running the AVG updater
will still be running.

Hope that clears up things. Sorry I wasn't clearer the first time.

Understand your question now.

Sorry, I am unable to make any constructive suggestion. Can only repeat:-

a. Reload AVG using the latest download.

b. Wait until the gurus can confirm if AVG is still compatible with ME

The free version of AVG is running on my WinME OK but without going to
switch that machine on I don't know what version it is at the moment.

On another NG the following advice was given, seemingly pertaining to your
very question:

Download the latest version. Disconnect from the net. Uninstall the
old version. Install the new version. Reconnect to the net. Use the
check for updates, to update the virus definitions.
