Cannot turn on AVG Anti Virus Free malware protection

Got a Dell Laptop with Windows Vista and AVG Anti Virus Free software. Getting a side-by-side configuration error when I click on IE or any other EXE icon. Got this help from another site but cannot run file even after saving it to my hard drive.

This can easliy be fixed. It is an error that especially occurs if you are running windows Vista.

All you have to do is download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86).

It fixed the error for me.

It's not much, but my first post to solve a problem.

Hope it helps someone.

Here is the link :

Download details: Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

Please advise.........:-o
