I have AVG Free Edition on two machines.

On one when I update the virus definitions I do not have to reboot.

On the other a reboot is required.

Is there some Windows setting that make the reboot necessary?



Thanks in advance

Active,

There is a registry key that is used to say that the machine needs to be
rebooted

Are these both XP machines or is one an old FAT32 system?

Is there just virus updates of engine updates too?

Awaiting your reply,

There's a setting for this in Update Manager of AVG.

This is a question for AVG KB/forums.

Did you mean "or" rather than "of", if so:
just virus upgrades

I looked before posting and just looked again and can't find any such
setting.

I've looked for a NG containing the letters AVG and can't find one. Maybe my
ISP does not carry it.

Thanks for answering.

I have version 7.5.446 and can't find Update Manager anywhere on the Control
Center form or menu.


Thanks
