AVG Error

[#1]

You can just disable the add-on in IE if AVG admin doesn't work (though it should).
Doing it that way also avoids AVG nagging that you are at risk.

[#2]

ah yes you can disable it but then it shows an annoying warning in the notification area all the time which drove me nuts 'til i found how to uninstall it completely

[#3]

In the recent updates the admin is changed so that you can "ignore" it, so no error in the System Tray.

I'm beginning to get worried about AVG.  I couldn't get it to work to remove the link scanner so I uninstalled it and downloaded again.  It wouldn't let me register with my email or password as it said 'already used'.  I had to use a newly created email address and change my password.  Then it said I would receive an activation email.  It still hasn't arrived and I've looked in spam as well.  Is there a way I can free my previous email address that I want to use again?
Apart from not activating it because I don't have an email it seems to have installed.  I am told I have version 8.0.169 and virus database 270.6.13/1641.  Is this correct?

[#5]

Same versions as on my wife's PC.

[#6]

and mine, now also no nag on the status bar

[#7]

Thanks guys.  I guess things are working OK again.  At least the link scanner has gone

[#8]

hi to all... my version AVG says it is 270.6.9/1634...
am i ood then please.. thanks 

[#9]

With reference to paulh's comment about the warning mark on the icon, I disabled the link scanner add-on in IE and Firefox, as HP noted earlier and this worked fine with no resulting annoying exclamation mark.
I changed over to Avast yesterday and so far so good - computer seems a bit faster too.

Your virus database is out of date.  You can update this manually if yor system isn't set to do so automatically.  My present one is 270.6.14/1643 but this will possibly update itself further this morning.

thanks artmo. have noted the number aiming for...
few days ago it stated update failed  , couldn't connect to server . then it appeared to be okay due for scan  at 12 so will see to it later.

[#12]

Yes, updating has been a problem for a few days.  They issued a large prog update and it just overloaded their servers.  It all seems to have settled down now.

[#13]

thanks again... have at least reached  14/1643...
probably still playing catch-up.. will stick to AVG for now. may change later  to avast ...

[#14]

Yep, you're up to date now.
