Vista - AVG turned off?

hi!
i have AVG 7.5 professional edition installed on ny comp, im running vista
home premium and lately every time i start my pc i get a security alert
informing me that avg is turned off , yet according to every thing else it
appears to be on. it seems to update itself ok too. why is it doing this,
anyone know?

If the Windows Security Center is complaining about finding no
anti-virus protection at all, then maybe it just doesn't recognize AVG
and you need to tell it to not monitor anti-virus protection.

Uninstall it. Reboot. Reinstall

Then I agree with the other posters' replies: uninstall AVG, reboot,
then reinstall AVG.

Stupid,

Do you want me to continually unistall and and reinstall. I would rather shoot myself. Every time I update Windows I will be wondering if its an update or something that is turning windows security wonky. The problem is in Vista, not avg. I have yet to find a good answer, other than switching to Avast. Sounds like a conspiracy to me.
