Re: Anti Virus Program

I think the chances of people who can't install AVAST having a "corrupt
install of Vista" particularly if Vista is working relatively well that has
anything to do with that problem are slim and none Jason.

I have Vista 5536 working fine, and a lot of us have exp. problems on it
installing AVAST. One solution is to go to driver verifier by typing
verifier in the run box and disalbing *inspection of the software drivers
for AVAST.* This has no impact on the functionality of AVAST AV. Also this
is one of the steps to prevent blue screens from showing up, along with
disabling deadlock detection in Driver Verifier.
