Well, I selected all entries in virus vault and then clicked Restore, which emptied the virus vault. I then rebooted. This did not fix my problem....
Xpilot, Thank you very much for the excellent advice; your idea about checking the vault is what I will do next. You are correct; most of the AVG...
Well I goofed this morning. I had installed AVG 8, did a complete scan, and foolishly or accidentally (depending on how I tell the story), I...
Thanks for that, bodgy. I would have tried it had I not already reformatted D:. However, I'm glad I did the reformat as it gave me the chance to...
