| 720540 | 2008-11-16 03:14:00 | From here (www.avg.com) If you havent updated either recently, now may be a good idea, or it may delete a windows file (it detects user32.dll, as a false positive and deletes it), and you wont get into windows. |

| 720542 | 2008-11-16 05:32:00 | Old news now. That update came out about last Tuesday. Only effected some non English versions of WinXP. Should be OK now. | paulw (1826) | ||

| 720544 | 2008-11-17 04:28:00 | Lol, no. I don't run AVG on startup or any live-monitoring, haven;t updated in 79 days!...so what do you guys recommend? I don't need an ontime scanner and need something very light, ie. for 128mb ram! |

| 720545 | 2008-11-17 05:20:00 | Id opt Avast, much lighter than AVG on the resource-front. And yeah, its only a few non-english translations that were affected by the update, so if your AVG is in english then you wont be affected. The update was corrected almost immediately, its just unfortunate that those non-english users updated and had their PC screwed over :( |
