MS Defender is Blocking AVG Anti-Virus Free

Hello everyone,
I have a little problem. I installed MS Vista 5536 and re-installed AVG's Free Anti-virus version 7.1.0.405 and now every time I reboot Defender blocks it from starting up. I right click on blocked programs and click allow and it works fine, however on the next reboot its the same old problem.

Please Help. Thanks!

Billy

RE: MS Defender is Blocking AVG Anti-Virus Free

Do you have AVG installed on another drive?
This happened to me last time and has once again happened - AVG coild not
reproduce the problem I thought it would be fine this time - it does load
when you click but the olny way to stop the boot error was to disable UAC - I
don't want to do this. Last time when I tested without UAC enabled everything
worked without error - use UAC and AVG produces this error

I was fine on first install but from cold boot error now have to uninstall
unless I want to see the error each time which I don't. I really thought it
was just the old beta but know now we have it again.

I had the same problem. After giving AVG control center for my user account full permission (UAC), Defender stopped blocking it on startup.

RE: MS Defender is Blocking AVG Anti-Virus Free

I installed avg free on windows vista, (using avg for years) rather than run
it when downloading i saved avg to hard drive, then opened program
compatibility wizard. no problems, scanned pc, i've restarted pc maybe 7
times with no problems with avg or windows defender.
