On my machine, AVG can update, install update, and all is right with the world.
On my brother's PC it demands a reboot and the tray icon goes grey.
Also, on his machine the hosts file gives an error when scanning for viruses and mine does not. WTF
Yaarrrr

He probably has a nasty virus.

Sure as shit does. =( I ran that kapersky virus scan that someone else mentioned, I think it was Arlos (thanks btw) and it found 7 viruses that AVG didn't find. Guess it's back to Norton on his machine.

AVG updates their definitions almost daily. Doubt there is a virus out there it won't catch if you keep it updated.

Hmm. I'll have to see if another AVG scan will find it.

Create a rescue disk and boot off of it. Then run the scan.

Uninstalled avg, reinstalled--no longer demanding restart after update, but still isn't finding viruses.
That kapersky found 20+ but when it was done disappeared!
