[SOLVED] AVG 8.0 restart

msarft · 07-09-2008, 04:48 PM

I updated to AVG 8.0 when it came out - has been running/updating great.
Last week it began with the "Update Requires Restart" pop-up. I checked the program and could not find anywhere to disable/uncheck this option.
When I restart, it starts the update again and I get the message again.
Tried uninstalling, downloading and re-installing - fine for 1 or 2 days and then starting with the message again. Running Windows XP.
Ran SBot - no virusus found, ran AdAware - nothing.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I'm having the exact same problem with AVG 8.0. Haven't found the solution yet (aside from installing Avast instead) but I'll make sure to post the solution when/if I find it.
