Sorry if this is off topic everyone but I am hoping someone can help me. I
just loaded the new free AVG version 8.0 (I am running xpsp2), and I figured
I should have manually uninstalled 7.5 first but it said it would do it
automatically and I trusted it. Anyway it made a bunch of registry changes
and spybot teatimer kept picking them up so I kept clicking "accept", etc
etc.

Now, every time I boot up, spybot teatimer puts up an acceptance window
above the icon tray saying something like "Allowed value "AVG7_CC" (new
data: "") deleted in System Startup global entry!" The window disappears
after a few seconds

It does it every bootup and then it lists it in the spybot log, so it will
keep listing forever. Please tell me how to get rid of this annoyance and
stop it from listing it in the log. Am I going to have to uninstall AVG 8.0
and start over (making sure to delete the directory also if it leaves any
part of it), and I guess I should disable spybot teatimer first if I do (do
you agree)- I didn't on previous installation versions of AVG, but I may
have uninstalled the previous version manually first.

I am afraid to mess with the registry without knowing exactly what is going
on. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. It would be nice if
there was a simple fix.

Thanks...Pete

No need to respond guys...I updated spybot to the latest version and
everything seems okay now. I guess it wiped everything out but it still
kept the log lists...Pete

Just to close out this v OT thread, it may be useful to some to note that
the new AVG 8 doesn't like SpywareBlaster's ActiveX protection and SpyBot's
"Immunize". See, inter alia,
