876501 2010-04-14 08:47:00 Wife was sick of Avg 7.5 always popping up on her Win98 SE machine and scanning every file she brings up.

I used the Avg uninstall file and the add/remove in Windows to clean the title in there.

Now we get a series of VXD files blocking the loading if Windows after the Win flash screen.

Have used a couple of programs and even on from Grisoft's own site, to no avail.

And we thought this was a very good virus software, no more thank god!.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Lurking.

876505 2010-04-14 23:35:00 What are the names of these vxd files?? Could be Kerio blocking things. If this is on the net, I would uninstall all versions of java, then update it

Do you need this?

Speedy Gonzales (78)
876506 2010-04-14 23:53:00 Hi Speedy, the X3Watch is a kids security program, they are long gone, but we have g/children, bit young for anything suspect.

As mentioned we re-installed 7.5 and the VXD files showing under initial boot-up no longer appear, and the Avg search on word docs doesn't appear.

The IBM hasn't done any web work and that's the reason for getting rid of AVG.

I thought Zone Alarm was bad enough to get rid of !.

Kerio was a great firewall and it could probably be taken off now.

Regards,

Lurks.

876507 2010-04-15 00:10:00 Speedy, because you are so helpful, I dived into the rubbish bin and pieced together the note I had taken last night.


Here are 2 lines:

C:\PROGRAM~1\GRISOFT\AVGFRE~1\AVG7 CORE.VXD
C:\PROGRAM~1\GRISOFT\AVGFRE~1\AVG7 RS.VXD

Wrote them down quickly so they may not be quite right.

Great having you there for us oldies.

Thanks again.

Lurks.

876508 2010-04-15 00:18:00 Did you know that AVG 7.5 stopped being supported quite some time ago? The last virus database update was on 30th April 2009. Please see this thread of the AVG Free Forum : forums.avg.com (Big AL 43 is a moderator for the forum). AVG9 is now the current version.

As a side - Personally, I don't think even the latest version of AVG is much cop. I hear much better things about Avira and Microsoft Security Essentials for detection and removal of malware, and both are very lightweight and are also free. I'm not sure if either of them support Win98 though.

876509 2010-04-15 00:43:00 Is it saying this ? (en.allexperts.com)

a device file that is specified in the SYSTEM.INI file is damaged
you may need to run the windows setup program again. if the file is included in another software package, you may need to reinstall the software that uses the file.C:\PROGRAM~1\GRISFT\AVG7\AVG7CORE.VXD

Is this connected through a router? If it is, I wouldnt worry about Kerio

Or is it on dialup?

Please see this thread of the AVG Free Forum : . avg . com/au-en/avg-free-forum?sec=thread&act=show&id=14311" target="_blank">forums . avg . com (Big AL 43 is a moderator for the forum) .

Hi catspyjamas, Avg 7 . 5 was on the machine, ( I know AVG is up to ver 9 now), still won't be using it though .

Will check out your link, but Speedy's last response shows the problem .

My wife just uses the Win 98SE machine to do her card making on as the scanner is a parallel port connection .

Thanks,

Lurking .
