Free Virus scan app - AVG won't install - Help!
Hi, I have just been told that my 7.5 version of AVG has to be upgraded, however when I run the update program I get this:
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...stallerror.jpg I have XP with SP1 and will not update to SP2 as I have too many problems with it! but why it's saying windows 2000 I don't know!:-? Can anone suggest a fix or recommend another free virus scan program.:oops::yep: Many thanks, Reece. |
There's always avast!, which is an excellent program...however, you really should upgrade to SP2 and now SP3, as most of the kinks have since been worked out.

Do you know if you can you go from SP1 to SP3?:) I will check out avast!:yep:
Thanks. |

I still recommend Avast to anyone who uses the free virus scanners. However, with Avast's latest version (4.8) I started getting BSODs. I went to their forums and there is some issues with 4.8 and some people getting BSODs. I have installed Avast 4.8 on other computers and they seem fine. Go figure. I have since uninstalled Avast and will wait until a couple versions later to see if they have worked out the kinks. I am running with no virus scanner and am wondering if I even need it. I don't visit shady sites, look for cracks for programs, open every e-mail attachment, or go to every site in an e-mail forward. I have a firewall, Spybot Search & Destroy (I love that name! :lol:), and AdAware. I may redownload Avast in the future, but for now I don't see the need.

Running 4.8 on a couple systems. No issues here.
