AshMat Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 So i got the new AVG Free 7.5 today. And it's telling me the resident shield is not loaded, and a box pops up every now and then. I've gone into properties, i can't tick the box to turn it on, anyone know how i can get it to turn on?
Bogbas Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Have you rebooted? (probably a stupid question, but lets start from the basics ) You have uninstalled any other antivirus software you had? Some offer removal tools from their sites. If you want to try re-installing avg, unplug your pc from the internet, uninstall the avg you have now, reboot, shut down every program you don't need when windows loads(messenger, xfire, firewall etc.), install avg. Then reboot and plug your computer back to the internet. Be sure that the firewall starts before you do that,
Ramar Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Odd, I had a clean hassle free installation (it looks a lot better now, although still very similar). Do what Bogbas has posted, might fix your problem.
Twozzok Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Get a Mac lol. Can't you not, oh I dunno, shut the fuck up? Seriously, you're not funny. That joke was beat into the ground before it was thought up. Get over it.
AshMat Posted February 19, 2007 Author Posted February 19, 2007 Twozzok he was jsut messing about, hence "lol" as for uninstalling everything, it seems like a lot to do.. will that really make the box tickable? I'll try rebooting it later on.

I'll try rebooting it later on. You don't need to uninstall everything (just the recently installed avg that doesn't work maybe), just shutdown the apps that aren't needed for the installation. Basically you'd just right-click on all the icons that are next to the clock and choose exit/quit. And I have a vague memory that the pc needs to be rebooted to complete the installation for avg.

AshMat Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 Bogbas you were right, i turned my pc on this morning and it was all there and fine.
