AVG is not compatible with RC1: AVG uninstallation is also bugged!

After the first time you install AVG on RC1, it will work fine, but as you
reboot, antivirus driver or similar fails to start.
So I uninstalled AVG but it's remained on the security center. Why is it
remained in the security center???? How remove it???? Now I've 2 antivirus
active in security center but AVG is not really

It would load fine here a couple of times, but stopping doing
so eventrually. I un- then reinstalled and it worked again. For
some other eason I had to reinstall pre-RC1 and AVG wouldn't
load after some reboots.

When started manually from the Start Menu it fired up fine and
reportet to be active, also the tray-icon then appeared again.
Since the icon is there, AVG says it's active and the update of
the program then works flawlessly, I assume that manually star-
ting the program may be a workaround. I don't know of any
other AV-software that works with 5536 so I stick with it.

AVG worked fine for me on build 5536 and continues to on Build 5600.
By chance did you upgrade without uninstalling AVG?
Are you using the latest build released recently?

I am running build 5536 - have the latest AVG Free edition
(avg71free_405a791)
upon booting I get the following message:

"Could not initialize AVG Anti-Virus Kernal interface. Application cannot
run"

an "OK" buttons appears in the message box.

I manually start the program and all seems well. I did a clean install of
5536

I have no problems with AVG Free Edition and 5536. It runs fine even after re-booting.

Yup. I got that too. Launch it from desktop icon, open Control Panel, and
it's working.

Eventually it stoppeed giving the error.

I've installed the latest build 5600 as usual i.e. installed on a clean hard
disk (fresh installation).

> Are you using the latest build released recently?

yes, of course, I've downloaded the AVG from this page
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5
about 2 days ago.

yes, the same issue here.

I had the same problem as BillD, including being left with 2 antivirus apps
listed, even after I had uninstalled AVG. Starting the program manually each
time didn't seem like a good work around and I now have Trend Micro PCillian
installed. However, it expires in Oct and has no free version. I'm hoping
they will get AVG working again by then. It worked fine for me in the Beta
2 version of Vista.

All you have to do is control panel Windows Firewal ad program and just
check that AVG has access
