When avg runs a complete system scan it ends up looking @ 'c:\volume
info\*.*' & is in a loop. Only way to stop it is with task manager. It
has already scanned >200000 objects. Tried chkdsk but no joy. Anyone
got any ideas? TIA

This is really interesting. I also use ZA & Acronis true image. So
here is what i will try: uninstall Acronis, ZA & Avg. Then install Avg
ZA & acronis in that order & then test.

Well i think i am back in busiiness. Did the above & was able to avg
the c: drive. However, i was unable to install the paid avg (registry
error access is denied) & had to install the free. So currently have a
request into avg about the registry error.

Try downloading this file: http://www.grisoft.it/download/tools...ermissions.zip
Extract the files to a folder and run reset_access.bat , it should fix
the registry problem.
The instructions are only in the italian website so if you know
italian: http://www.grisoft.it/grisoft/index....=93&Itemid=110

Ciao,

Dan
