231048 2004-04-21 21:48:00 It is locked up in a restore point now. You need to :-
1/ Turn off restore
2/ Restart PC
3/ Run AVG again
4/ Turn restore back on when all clear.

To turn on/off restore
1/ Click Start > Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer
2/ Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
3/ Click the System Restore tab.
4/ Check the "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives" check box .
