It actually disabled AVG. I had no choice but to do a full recovery -total wipe and rebuild and bye bye data, files, astro photos, kids and krandkids - the lot.
Now where did I put that backup???

I have had a bad experience with AVG. I someone got a virus through Firefox and it ate up my boot file and after doing an AVG scan it didn't detect anything. My PC would not boot after that so I had to re install Windows 7 and went with Avast and love it. Avast is much better and isn't such a resource killer like AVG. This is also when I made the switch to Chrome and still using it to this very day.

No problems with Avast and Chrome
