That was a great suggestion. I did exactly what you suggested, and AVG is now working again.

Its an amazing firewall/AV/anti-malware app that combined is lighter weight and frankly better than any of the other options I've tried. Its free for a year.
Thank you, I will look at that. I moved to AVG from Norton, thanks to recommedations in this forum. It's great to be able to come to the FT IT department, and get such knowledgeable help.
WHEW! I hated having my computer unprotected from viruses, and am very glad it's now running properly.
