Ashampoo firewall used normally but it makes no difference if switched off. Spybot resident usually on but makes no difference if switched off Previously had AVG 7.5 with no troubles at all Allowed AVG 8 Free to uninstal 7.5 March 31, 2009 16:46 Re: Update fails #7 Top trave Senior Join Date: 31.3.2009 Posts: 31 Only use one firewall... two can cause issues. Ashampoo is the better of the two you listed so that is what I'd suggest you use unless you don't like it for some reason. Also, when enabling/disabling a firewall always follow that with a reboot or in some cases your action will not be "active". Also verify your firewall permissions as stated in this http://free.avg.com/ww.faq.num-1334. The following will help with routing table issues... 1. Turn off the computer. 2. Turn off any router or hub that your computer may be plugged into. 3. Turn off the cable/dsl modem

Are you logged in as admin? And, did you see this? http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-an-Avg-Uninstalling-Problem edited ..... I just realized there isn;t an unstall option on the avg menu? I think when I first installed it there was an "install.repair/uninstall" option, so you could try that, and it looks like they have an avg remover tool on their site ... http://www.avg.com/gb-en/download-tools T7-8 since Feb 2005 Reply With Quote 05-02-2010,01:45 PM #3 Shaun View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Blog Entries Visit Homepage View Articles Senior Member Join Date Jul 2001 Location Canada Posts 7,795 GONE!
