AVG with RC2...

I know it's early days, but having managed to get AVG Free to work with build
5600 and 5728, I NOW can't get it working in RC2 5744. Anyone have any
experience on this one yet? I've tried the usual XP comp. and admin. modes
etc. Thanks. Haven't yet tried AVG 7.5 however, but I gather that's not a
freebie!

I have the same issue, only I never got it to work in 5728.
I ''run as administrator'' when installing, am using the latest
version of AVG Free (avg71free_407a808) and get the
following message:

Local machine: installation failed
Installation:
Error: Action failed for file avgmfrs.sys: starting service....
This driver has been blocked from loading (1275)

Driver blocked due to incompatibility

I am using the same version as you and I get exactly the same error message!
However, strangely, I DID have it working under 5728! That doesn't make a
lot of sense to me... I guess hardware/software combinations can effect the
outcome in different scenarios!

I was hoping to find AVG worked with RC2 I have just installed RC2 but
now don't know which AV will work. I have a licence for AVG Pro has anyone
had a successful install with 7.5 Pro?

I tried 7.5 pro "trial" and in fact have it running right now, so yes it
works! As I said in the previous post; has it something to do with
hardware/software combinations? Does anyone know if that IS the case, or
indeed what the heck is going on! Why can I run it and not "pippin" and yet
"bchat" can't run AVG free and I can with the same build! Curiouser and
curiouser!

I am going to install Pro on RC2 soon - I have only just installed RC2 with
office doing a defrag and checked to see if AVG would work this time - had
problems last twice. Hopefully I can post back to say it worked for me
although it did before until I booted from cold and then AVG couldn't access
database error (UAC or Defender blocked something) I could load it after
booting but had this error unless I disabled UAC It may be that I have AVG
on first disc with XP
