Well it's a good thing I haven't done any win 7 AVG updates on my laptop; too busy running linux to care about the windows platform.

So why can;t you go into safe mode and uninstall AVG?

This also happened to me running XP 64. I knew that it was AVG, because it updated, and then asked me to restart, and when I did I got that stop error. Within the stop error it gave me the name of the dll that was missing, so I booted up with a live linux cd, fedora, and then searched my hd for the file name, found it, recopied to my windows/system32 folder, rebooted, and i was back at my desktop where I immediately uninstalled AVG 2011.

AVG have slipped up badly with this. But at least they come on the forums and address the issue with it's clients, I don't see MS or Crapple doing that. AVG is free and I use it on my machines with no problems. Hope they fix it soon.

The update didn't only effect AVG Free users. I use AVG Internet Security 2011 on my Win 7 Ultimate x64 laptop and I got the BSOD couldn't even boot into safe mode. Tried repairing Windows installation but no luck I was almost ready to re-install windows luckily I googled a bit more and found the fix which was pretty easy to apply. Had problems with my desktop too running paid version of AVG and Win 7 Home Premium x64 no blue screen but AVG was not working until they released a fix for it. I would say the response by AVG was pretty good. They were aware of the problems right away and made a decent effort to get the word out to users on how to repair their systems.

While it is good to see that they are rectifying the issue, I'm surprised something like this was able to slip by.
6.12.2010 21:05 #12
just cropped up suggests it's some more antitrust behaviour from M$ .. notice how it happened right after the latest "update tuesday"?
I install free rising av for the sad losers who can't see the light .. seems good..
6.12.2010 21:35 #13
