Reason #3,987 that I’m glad I switched to Avast.
This is nominated as the 2nd most confusing title for a technical thread .... Today, at least. 8<)
I had a problem last night and had to reinstall a backup, now I know what caused it.................
My computer runs Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit and seemed fine after the update.
I had to boot the wife's computer into Recovery Mode, and simply restored to a point prior to the AVG update that caused the problem. Disabled AVG updates until the patch is/becomes available.
I’ve heard several reports lately about how messed up the newer versions and updates to AVG are. I have it on one PC and am taking it off.
Is this what happened to my last computer?
I ran AVG and it just puked.
I dropped AVG after Microsoft Security Essentials came out. AVG began getting bloated in my opinion.
I use AVG with Vista, no problems I can see.
I also have 2 Linux live discs if I need them
What? It said “Ballsup Bricks Windows 7”
Makes sense to me.
Avast is the way to go.
actually the information provided is quite clear . I have found this thread not only informative but educational. i never knew what a continuous re-boot was.
“Linux, When life throws you those curve balls”
I gave Windows 7 x64 a five week trial; finally got disgusted with the most bloated sluggish system Microsoft has ever put out. I’m now running Windows XP x64.
Reason #3,987 that Im glad I switched to Avira!
ping, may explain why you are having problems
Thanks Gomez. That’s what happened to MY puter Sunday a week ago! The screen turned black, a bunch of gibberish including DATA DUMP rolled across the screen; it went through several convulsions like that, including the DATA DUMP gibberish, and then finally came up in Safe Mode. When I ran my Norton Restore disks I got everything back but it was still all screwed up. After reinstalling Windows 7 it seems to be O.K. I had no idea that Microsoft was actually the cause of it.
Which reminds me..... What is Bill Gates’ wife’s name? Melissa, maybe? Anyhow....do you know what she said to Bill on their wedding night when they fooled around?
She said: “Now I know why they call it MICRO SOFT!
I feel like I should post something useful here, like, check my tagline or something?
End it, don’t mend it.
Stay away from the porn and you won’t need this kind of software IMO.
