AVG and 5728

[jel183\(UK\)]

Just done a clean install of 5728 and now AVG Anti Virus will not install.
Worked fine with 5600. Error message says that Windows has blocked the
access to drivers... Anyone got any ideas?

Yup,
Use Avast

Avast fails with an RPC error...

Yup,

I successfully installed AVG Version 7.1.405 on 2 computers, laptop and
desktop with Vista Build 5728.
Install all Windows Updates and reboot before installing AVG.

That's the paid version, is it not, Jupiter?

That's good news.

I installed the free version of AVG and it installed fine, but on first run
after it update seems that it found about 20 vista systems files when it
scanned LOL. So much for that.

I wish I new how you did that, 'cos I can't get it to install with 5728!
I've even tried the new AVG build 407 and still no-go! As it was OK with
5600, Microsoft has changed something... what are they trying to tell us? No
more freebies? Gotta go and BUY anti-virus? As PC Cillin is the ONLY
recommendation that Microsoft gives.... mmmm, let's work it out! I'm going
back to 5600! Unfortunately 5728 is probably closer to the final release
version! Wonder how many more programs are not going to work by the time
they've finished! Nero doesn't work either! How much is all this going to
end up costing us all on top of the Vista O/S?

Further to below, I just discovered AVG 7.5 BETA! This installs perfectly
under 5728... just can't do an update after the initial one during
installation. Oh well, we're getting there!
