Vista Tutorial - AVG turned off?

08-29-2008

When Vista starts, the Windows Security center tells me that my AVG had been
turned off (underneath Malware protection). I clicked on "Turn on now" and it
said "you are about to run a program that did not come with vista. Do you
trust this program?" I clicked "Yes I trust this program and am ready to run
it". I clicked on it but then nothing showed up....

I don't get what's wrong?

You forgot to tell us what version of AVG you're running. If it isn't the
very latest, go to their website and download the current version.
Uninstall the one you have and install the new one. If that works, you're
done. If that doesn't work, check for malware.
