| 737503 | 2009-01-11 20:01:00 | This has been working fine for ages and just to make sure actually uninstalled and installed a new one. But now as it did before for the past few weeks, it gets half way through a scan and it freezes and stops, as well as the mouse freezes. Any suggestions why or how can I get it to continue?

| 737505 | 2009-01-11 20:19:00 | I also prefer Avast but the AVG should still work. Can you check the event viewer & see if there is a reference to the freeze. |

| 737506 | 2009-01-11 20:27:00 | it just says the scan log is corrupted, thanks. | bruciebear (1478) | ||
| 737507 | 2009-01-11 20:44:00 | That would be true, but it's the reason for that happining we are after. Look for other errors at that time. |

| 737508 | 2009-01-12 06:51:00 | I used AVG for years but it has developed update problems. I now use Avast and also Comodo on a laptop which is allergic to Avast. Both are very good. Comodo also includes a very good fire wall. No problems. Can be a bit of a pain when it is learning, but soon settles down. |

| 737509 | 2009-01-12 17:17:00 | I spent several months on AVG's forum trying to get to the bottom of those corrupt files. "Their stock answer was to uninstall and then re-install. This will fix the corrupt file." My answer to them was (like you) that is not a fix ! What causes the file to become corrupt, and why don't you make a utility to rebuild the file to save millions of people having to re-install. The forum moderators never agreed with me. So relecnatnly (and due to 2 other bugs/problems) I dumped AVG and installed AVast and have never been happier. |
