avg internet security suite 8 error

Recently i've been getting this error message after having it crash while updating, i would reboot my pc and get this error.:cry
but i could still re update the virus definitions.

 

Well, free AVG is not what is used to be. People are switching to Avira Antivir or Avast. Many forum malware experts recommend this switch, actually.

But you could try to reinstall AVG.

 

Also run a couple of online scanners to make sure that it's not malware trying to shut down your security program. For example Kaspersky and/or ESET NOD32.

Edit: I like F-Secure's online scanner the best. Only is it incredibly slow. Five hours or more in my case. But in the end this one will find the problem if no one else did, - in my experience, that is. Also Microsoft's free online Windows Live OneCare safety scanner can be very useful. It can repair files, install updates, remove obsolete registry keys and malware. The latter is not it primary strength...

 

I did, it didn't help i still got the same error.

 

Will it let you run it in safe mode?

 

I uninstalled it, but it did lockup once while uninstalling it, but i was able to reboot my pc and then try again at unistalling it and this time able to unistall it and now i'm using avg free edition plus ashampoo firewall,a free firewall program (it's one i used to use and never had problems with it) also adware 2008.

 

So the problem is solved now and AVG is running like it should?

Edit: I realise now that you've gone from the payed version to the free. Not quite satisfactory...

 

yes, sometimes it pays to use freeware programs!:-D
avg internet security 8 isn't worth it!:mad

 

I'm seriously considering on dropping avg anti virus and use some other anti virus program.:mad
avg's just not what it used to be!
