we all use AVG


If you really think it's AVG, pause all 8 running processes via the tray icon and install WB. If the same problem persists, it's not AVG.

The only way I could get AVG disabled was in its own config panel...by disabling the resident shield.

The install still went badly.This was the second install,after an uninstall and reboot.

I've had the same problem for a while now. It was a problem with AVG for me. I just completely uninstalled AVG and WB worked. Reboot...no problems. Reinstalled AVG, reboot...same problem again. Uninstalled AVG... I've never had a problem with AVG before with ANY program. I know WB isn't a 'normal' program, but still... just seems strange, especially when so many people use AVG.

Hey, I just got AVG to work!
I phoned tech support the other day, and it was he who suggested that AVG might be blocking WB. I uninstalled AVG, but was stuck with no anti-virus unless I found an alternative. So, I emailed the guy back and asked what I should do. He suggested allowing WB as an exception in AVG. Took some messing around, but I got it to work finally.
This is what I did:
I opened AVG, went to "resident shield", clicked on "manage exceptions", added the path C:\Program Files\Stardock and vuala! It worked! Rebooted several times and applied different skins to make sure. Everything seems to work great so far.
Anywho, hope that helps.
I'm using AVG 8 free version.
