Hi, AVG are fully aware of the issues with AVG 8, and FS are rumoured to bringing out a JAWS 9 patch to fix these. For now though, uninstall AVG and give Avast a try. The home edition is free for home and noncommercial use. The site to download it is at www.avast.com. Hope that helps.

Good morning. I've been using AVG antivirus for years and it has always done a good job at protecting my computer. I've found it very Jaws user friendly over the years until now. AVG 8.0 is out as a lot of you know. I downloadedand installed the software and I can't open the user interface. The user interface won't respond on either of my computers. 1 computer has Windows Vista Home Premium and the other one has Windows XP Home addition. I amusing Jaws 9.0. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem and if so, howcan I fix it. Also, are there any other Free antivirus programs that are Jaws user friendly that I can look at trying in case I can't get AVG working? Cheers.

Heard FS was working on a patch to fix the user interface issue. Robert To find me you can do the following.
