| | AVG 8.x Breaks VPC2007 Networking Can anyone else confirm this please? I've done this now on three separate systems. Install VPC2007 or VPC2007 w/SP1 and then install AVG 8.x (I used the free version). Before you install AVG, your guest OS networking works just fine. After -- no mode of networking (shared, dedicated, etc) works anymore. Can someone else out there puuuuleeeze try this too? Maybe it's just coincidence that all of my machines (Dell XPS's) are fubar'ing even with clean OS loads, all using Vista x86. I haven't tried XP. |

| | Re: AVG 8.x Breaks VPC2007 Networking I use AVG 8 in about a dozen virtual machines on four different hosts and I have not seen this. None of my computers are Dells, however. Two run Vista x64 SP1 and two run XP Pro SP3. The guests run the gamut of XP SP3 and Vista SP1. I suggest you log into the AVG forums for advice. You might also try Avast, since it is also free for consumer users and runs in all configurations of hosts and guests. I use Avast in a few guests, mostly running Win9x/ME, which AVG 8 no longer supports.
