Ahh your the first person ive heard of having that sort of problem with it, with a bit of luck you can start using it again when they release the next fix, cos at the moment 8 is bug ridden.

similar to this guys issue...
A boy named Sue?
It sounds to me as though AVG is the issue. I haven't used AVG for a long while, but I think I read on a Firefox newsgroup that it now sometimes launches browser windows with "upgrade to the full version" messages (it was reported that some users don't find this, and some have had it on one computer but not on another with a similar set up). Is it possible that it's this function that is causing the crashes?
It seems unlikely to me that launching IE7 in safe mode would restrict the anti virus software itself, but perhaps it does result in the extension that tries to do the advertising bit not being loaded, and therefore prevents the problem. Just a thought - as I say, I'm not an AVG user myself any more. This thread isn't tempting me back, either!
[quote="azasmith"][quote="karlitofingers"]Are you guys downloading AVG from the the internet and using the free trail? If so this is pants and won't pick certain things up, you need that McAfee back on there and get it bang up to date.
When you get McAfee on your new laptop it's usually a 30 day trail and then won't work anyway, my mums just got a top of the range laptop and insits she won't need the McAfee, I guess i'll be making a few visits then![/quote]
AVG isn't a free trial.. It's a free version.. It's the same program with a few less features.. Personally no computer should be without Three things.
AVG Free Edition
Zone Alarm
Spybot Search & Destroy.
All free and all work beautifully.. Except AVG which i can't use anymore.. [/quote]
Wouldn't the full Mcafee suite do all those things and more without the hassle though?

It depends what Mcaffee is like.. AVG is easy to use.. With very simple layouts.. I've never used Mcafee... But this doesn't really help the post..
In further news Steve.. AVG 8.. Works fine on the Desktop running XP...
But same issue on my laptop every time, many full restores have been done.. But.. Nothing... It seems to work when i install it.. But when i restart the laptop... As it's all loading up it goes... :/ Ah well... Running Avast for now until i can get the Zone Alarm full package... Don't mind paying for it if it lasts a lifetime n all that..

Hi You really don't need to purchase Zone Alarm the free version is plenty adequate as for AVG 8, what else have you got running on your laptop ie: spybot spywareblaster ?
