AVG free Vs Windows update

= AVG Resident shield not loaded.

Any ideas why?

Just been updating my computer (had a spare couple of hours) and last thing was to do a windows update. I've left it for a while as everytime i've tried its hung during download, so i've been living without the updates for about 6 months, maybe more.

It went well this time, but when the computer started back up windows (the red balloon) detected no virus checker, and AVG is grayed out and shield down.

Has this happened to anyone else, is there a way to fix the conflict cheers?

replace avg with antivir or avast!

they're both better, and just as free

AVG updated the entire free program at the start of the year. Are you still using the older version?

Without looking too hard, there are a few problems sometimes with AVG.

Here is one - http://free.grisoft.com/doc/29006/lng/us/tpl/v5

Maybe scan through the knowledge base to see if one matches your problem.
